For those who have eloped or know someone who has...

I am eloping with my fiance in October and we are planning on telling our parents. His parents are very accepting of our relationship and supportive so we aren't too afraid of what their reaction will be. However my parents are very traditional and catholic and have not approved of our relationship from day 1. He is good to me and I love him very much. We are eloping because I am feeling a lot of pressure from my family to have a traditional catholic wedding which I don't want and I feel I cannot make anyone happy. We just want a small intimate ceremony. Anyways my question is for those of you who have been in my situation.... how did you deal with telling your parents and what was their reaction?

I'm nervous that they are going to get mad at me.
