to elope or have a wedding

Br
I just posted a topic about me wanting to elope on a cruise or in vegas and celebrating when i got back my only problem is ik family wont be able to go but i simply dont have enough for our wedding anymore since school forced us to go into our wedding fund and i just dont want to go to the court house. My grandmother really wants to see me get married but if i get married at the church like I planned i see us having to go out to eat and everyone paying for their own meal. Which seems kind of tacky Let me know opinion on which idea you think is the best
