It's no secret that Heidi and Spencer eloped in Mexico, but after watching how it all came to fruition last night on The Hills, I couldn't help but feel badly for Heidi — was it just me or did she look incredibly sad the morning after her big day? Her family was clearly part of the reason why Spencer whisked her away, but it seemed as though she was disappointed that her family wasn't there to support her, let alone offer their blessing. While marriage is a personal commitment between husband and wife, do tell, would you ever elope on a whim like Heidi and Spencer did?

I would! I would much rather go off somewhere exotic with my man and come back with his last name
Of course tho my mom would be SO SAD, so maybe close friends & family can come
1i wouldn't be happy to elope, i don't think
2i want some build up, i want my family there, i want a party!
i would go somewhere exotic, but i wouldn't do it on a whim...it's just not me, and i'd also be sad, like heidi apparantly was (i didn't see it, though)
My parents are very important to me as well as their consent. I could never do this and crush my parents. I am a traditionalist when it comes to marriage, and although I despise big weddings, I'd like close family members and friends to be there. Unless Heidi's had some serious problems, I believe that they wanted the best for her and any impulse wedding that splits family in two won't most likely to last long. Plus, the whole WORLD knows that Spencer is a douche bag.
3Heidi's parents*
4No way! I want my family to be there for the ceremony and the reception. I want to have a fun time with everyone partying on my big day. After the festivities though, I would want to be all alone with my husband for some real fun.
5We wanted to elope, but my mom was really upset when I told her our plans, so we had a very small wedding the evening before our flight to Antigua. I sort of wish we would've eloped though, but I know I'll want to see my own daughter get married so I can understand.
6I think it would be kind of nice to elope but I think it would break my family's hearts so I wouldn't do it.
Heidi is an idiot. I don't feel bad for her at all. She has brain and is free to make her own decisions but she just goes along with Spencer. I don't think their wedding was even real.
7No way. Especially if he had that bum fuzz on his face like in the picture... GROSS!!
8I would totally elope, I think it would be exciting to run off and get married and to me it would make it that much better.
We have joked about it but he wants to have his family there so it will definitely be a small wedding if we don't just decide to go to the JP and then have a reception. We would prefer to have extra money for a honeymoon.
9I personally wouldn't mind, but I'm pretty sure my parents would be very upset - so for that reason I suppose I wouldn't elope.
10We have entertained the idea of eloping some day. However, my mom and his parents would probably bawl. So...how about elope, and then maybe have a small ceremony in front of people?
I'm not too big on my family, so them not being there would be just fine.
11while i don't want a huge wedding i do want my family and friends around to celebrate with me. a wedding should a be a happy and intimate moment that should be shared with your loved ones. i want to do something simple like maybe some nice tents on the beach in the summer at night. my fmaily is all in the restaurant business so we could take care of the food and everything and i would find simple yet beautiful things to decorate and make that moment mine. my family would be so disappointed if i were to elope and it would be something i would regret for the rest of my life.
12I would! It's soo romantic..
My parents and I don't get along much anyway so I wouldn't be crushed and neither will they. and like Chrstne said you can always have another ceremony later on.
13plus spencer and heidi had their "symbolic" wedding just for press and photos which they could sell because they are attention wh*res. people that elope do it because they don't want to call attention to themselves otherwise everyone would have known before. Spencer is a total tool and his speech on why he wanted to marry her made me want to kick him in his vag. "i haven't left your side in 2 years, i'm obsessed with you, and i want to keep you from the world". shes such a twit she doesn't even realize how manipulative and ridiculous he is. thats low self esteem at its finest.
14Nah, I wouldn't. I really want my dad there [since my mom won't be], and I'd like at least some blessing from both mine and the fiancee's families in the form of supporting us. I don't want a big elaborate wedding, but I do want people to be there.
[Also, more opportunities for presents from people at weddings! :D]
15I was just about to say "In a heartbeat!", but then I realized that I would desperately want to be with my daughter on her wedding day.... my parents are deceased, so I initially didn't think about my fiances parents maybe wanting to be there.... lol...I can see why they would want their only son's wedding to be a family thing.
16Hell yes. I'm all for a City Hall wedding.
17That's what I'd prefer to do.
18I would definitely want my family and close friends with me.
19Eff yeah I would, and I should have when I had the chance.
20Possibly.
21So romantic ... I would elpoe ... have a blast and then have a formal wedding ceremony to include my friends and family
22No. Just not for me since I would want family and friends to be there.
23It depends. I have never been the type to dream about my wedding - but I'd love to have it somewhere special, if possible. And I'd never have a huge wedding with everyone I have ever met or known. Preferably a small wedding with family, close relatives, and close friends... really only the most important people. I like to organize and plan things, so I would LOVE to plan my own wedding. I think I'd only elope if it was in the right circumstances. Like when my mom got married to my step-dad, she eloped, which made sense as she was in her 40s.
As for Heidi & Spencer... I hate them both, especially Spencer and his flesh-colored beard ("the soup" reference, haha). I can't believe how transparent he is. He took her to Cabo, got her drunk, and straight up said he's obsessed with her and wants her all to himself. He's a psychotic douche bag and she's an idiot for falling for all of this.
24Eloping is nice...but am I the only person who thinks the romance flies out the window when someone convinces you to marry them only after feeding you shots of Patron? Just sayin..
25no, but my boyfriend is all for it.
26I want the pretty wedding.. .
maybe this could be a problem in the long run... lol ! not something i currently need to consider.
Eh, 50-50, I don't care for big weddings, but I'm not also keen on leaving my family behind.
27I'm going to be married in City Hall with my fiancee. Our parents, siblings will come because it's not like we're going out of town to get married. Then a very small reception where we'll eat in some snotty restaurant just close family and bffs only
Yes
28Yes! I completely see myself doing it. I'd have a small ceremony after, for close friends and family...
29During the whole crazy planning phase of my wedding there were a few times when I just wanted to scrap it all and go off someplece private, but I just don't think I could have done it. I'm so close with my family that I can't imagine having had that day without them. It meant so much to me to have them all there to share the day.
30no i wouldnt my family love me and support me no matter what my decisions are
31sure they want me to have the best that i can have but i am getting married where my family is so they can see me
that doesnt mean that i will stay there forever though
God no, it's so selfish. My brother eloped a couple years ago and he is so regretting it.
32We wanted to do this but sadly we didn't have a lot of money being that we are both college students and our parents both have close to zilch. So we had a small wedding with just family. I guess we are a little different than most couples. I've never had fantasies of my wedding day or even really thought about it before hand. Also my family would have understood whatever we decided to do, as they said it was about us and not about them. My mother-in-law would have been upset a bit. She would have gotten over it though lol. But even still, if we had had the money at the time to get away we would have eloped.
33Thought about it many times. Wouldn't mind it. Frankly that whole marriage ceremony seems like a party for everyone else sometimes...that's why I ain't goin for an expensive or huge one. Everyone can go to McDonalds and get their own damn food.
J/k...no but seriously...
34I don't plan on eloping. It doesn't sound romantic to me. I love the idea of wedding with my friends and family there. Buuuut, I oculd see myself eloping if all the stress of planning got to me. I'd definitely plan a small celebration with my family afterwards though. I would feel really guilty though for leaving them out of my important day.
35I have like 6 powerpoints full of my wedding plans... yes at 19 I am a lil obsessed, yet even though I have all these dreams of a platinum wedding it would be so ironic if I eloped! But I would have to have a reception with my family and friends. I could not exlude my parents and brother from that.
36I don't think so. I'd rather just go to the courthouse and have a small service with our parents.
37I am all about it, but my bf is the one that wants a wedding! How backwards!
38I hate weddings. I would love to elope. But my bf wants his family there--so lame.
39I'm three months from my wedding and would KILL someone to be able to elope. Oh, well... at least our families will be happy.
40I would only elope if we got to bring our parents as well as each bringing our best friend. So I would but not with only my guy I need a very small group with me. That way I can avoid the mom drama Heidi got after her elopement.
41I can't stand the idea of a big Italian wedding with everyone and their uncle (literally!)in attendance.
But I wouldn't want to do it without my immediate family and my closest friends... so, I'd compromise.
42Yesum I would.
Though it would probably be me whisking him away!
43We had a big, traditional wedding, but I would have been happy to elope as well.
44I had a big traditional wedding and I loved it, I wouldn't trade it for the world. However, about two weeks before the wedding, I tried to talk my future husband into eloping! ha ha ha It's easier, but I loved having my friends and family there for me!
45I would because my mom tried to get into a fist fight at my sister's and my college graduation. I'm so scared that she'd do something like that that I would prefer her to not be there. The only way I can think to do that without making her disown me again is to elope. I would love to have my family and friends there, but it would be such a hassle worrying about her that I wouldn't be able to enjoy the special day. And since my boyfriend will probably propose in the next couple months, I'm REALLY worried about this because he wants a "real" wedding.
And yes, I know with a mother like that I shouldn't care about her disowning me, but she's my mom and I hurts so much to know that she doesn't want me in her life that I do everything I can to keep her "happy" with me.
46Totally! It's not about your family, it's about you! I love how people say "it's so selfish". Isnt your wedding supposed to be for your SELF?
47I always thought I wanted a big wedding and now that I had one, I realize that a small destination wedding would've been perfect. But if I hadn't had that big wedding I probably would've always wondered. I feel badly for heidi though.
48Hell yeah maybe during vacation or City Hall - I hate the idea of a weding and ceremony and well I really have no family but I find the whole situation embarassing and stressful.
49I would definately elope if I felt like getting married but I've been with my boyfriend for almost 5 years and no marriage seems to be workingn besides I dont want his last name or kids really I would just want to reap the benefits!
Never!!! It's my new husband and my day and I want all of my family and friends there 2 celebrate and make a big deal about it! You only get married once so it should be a big event.
