In college in my sophomore year I eloped with a guy I barely knew at the time. We sobered up and knew we had done something stupid. We remained friends but we never divorced or annulled the marriage. Three years after graduation I looked him up and found him living with a girl from his work. Believe me there were no feelings, he and I were friends. He was surprised to see me, I hadn't called first to let him know I was coming to town. When his girlfriend found out that I was married to him she pretty much ended it right there and walked out.

I don't know today, we are together now ten years and we have two kids, how being married made us get together. We just got together, we were married so we might as well be married. We did fake another wedding for the sake of the parents, but we were legally married at the time so the Minister married us in the 'church'. I sit in my house and wonder what my life would be like if I had not gone to see him, or if his girlfriend had said OK and stayed with him. We celebrate our church wedding as our anniversary, we have to stay very aware not to do anything that would give away that we had eloped. I guess it is a good thing that the kids came after our church wedding and not before.
