We're having a family-friendly wedding AND a kink-friendly second wedding

We’re planning two weddings: family-friendly AND kink-friendly

One of things my fiancé and I most cherish about our relationship is that we lead the kind of double-life worthy of one of the superhero comic books he loves so much. Normally, we are responsible, hard-working citizens who live and parent together in a small, quiet town. But after a quick change in a phone booth (aka, when my ex has the kids and we travel), we become adventurers well-versed in kink and non-monogamy who love to find weird bars, get tattoos, and go out dancing until the wee hours of the morning.

I was jumping up and down ecstatically when I told her “YES!”

At first, I was thinking of inviting family, friends, out-of-town relatives — you know, the typical thoughts that run through some people’s head after a proposal. Then, I had a totally unexpected idea. Why don’t we elope? I was at the time of my life where I didn’t care to spend a ton of money on a wedding and I had no desire to. But what do my wedding planning couples think now?
