Running away...not me
Is there a certain radius you have to pass in order to elope? Surely running away together requires that you go a certain distance away. A few miles doesn't seem good enough. You've got to get far enough away not to be able to walk the distance comfortably. Further than a short bus ride too. Maybe a quarter of the country?
And is it classed as eloping if you tell people where you're going? Surely there should be an element of secrecy. Of not wanting to be found.
Not that I have any plans to do this. For certain obvious reasons. I'm not even sure what made me think of it. But it's worth plotting these things in advance....although surely planning such things also goes against it's very essence. It needs to be more of a foolish spontaneous thing.

What's the point in eloping where everyone else is? I guess you have something in common with everyone else there, but once you get past the "Hi, we've just eloped" conversation, what more is there?

And at what distance does elopement escalate into potential kidnap?

To answer meadow vole, consent is the key , if they consent its not kidnap, belieave me ive been there, i know :). To Warthog thats the point, elope to somwhere that: 1. You are not known and 2. U dont speak the same language as the genral populace, then you hav total anonymity and can then enjoy yourself. I maybe wrong i am quite drunk. I plan to elope, by myself quite shortly, when funds permit.

Eloping? 'By myself'? That's a slightly impoverished version isn't it? That's just disappearance isn't it Mumbles? I wish you luck in all your elopements, alone or otherwise, and hope it doesn't end in the greased palms of the Bulgarian mafia. While we're on this subject, in the insect kingdom, do they have ANTelopes. Nyahahaha...Urgh,I feel quite soiled. And anyway, seeing as most species of ant leave imperceptible trails of pheromones which would allow them to be pursued by grief-stricken family members, elopement probably isn't a big issue in their actually quite loveless mechanical world.

Yes, singular elopement, the masturbation of running away.
I have a new blog game. Guess which anonymous has posted.
I think that was anonymous 2

I'm with you there Al. Typically, anonymous 2 has gone for the barrage of question marks again: he/ she/ it cannot resist their serpentine curves and the playfulness that having so many implies, but actually exposes them as the sort of morbidly curious and possibly criminal type who has, in secret, rifled frantically numerous times through the possessions of the most vulnerable and trusting of elderly women. I wonder who it is? Now that's a game.
