To get married without telling anyone until after the event?

Background is DP and I have ben together 30 years. We are both in our 50s.

DP has always been anti marriage (for us, not other people). I have wanted to get married but never made a big thing of it but made it clear that I felt DP was wrong for his reasons.

About 5 weeks ago I was very ill, a routine operation that went badly wrong. This seems to have switched something in DP's head, he thought I was dying (I've fully recovered now) and at the weekend he proposed to me and I have accepted.

I would like us to just get married, have our adult DD and one of her friends as a witness, go for a nice meal with them and then let family and friends know. No party or anything like that.

If you were friends or family would you be annoyed or upset or just think "about time too"?

At your age I don't think your family will mind. If you were younger they might.

My best friend at work (of 12 years) did this . Just her and DH and their two best friends. I was incredibly touched that she told just me in advance and I helped her choose her wedding ring. I was delighted for her.
