Ok first breathe... School can wait and that is just not something you need to think about because the class is not offered till the spring so wait until at least October to worry about that.

2nd Eloping may be a good idea if you have a short amount of time to do this in; I know from your other thread that you are concerned that not all for your friends can make it so eloping in Vegas would make it super easy for them to come. I understanding wanting a church wedding too so don’t stress about who can or cannot show because even if you throw it in their back yard people sometimes just can’t make it.

3rd try talking to your family when you go up there and see why they don’t like him and try to put them at peace with your decision. Sometimes we just tend to complain about our honeys instead of brag about them so it may just be a simple fix of telling them why he is the one for you. Oh and it always helps a dad to hear that your FH takes care of you and can provide for you when you leave your father’s home. (Even if you left his home 20 years ago he is still your go to guy until you get a FH)

4th You, your FH, and both families should pick a date like now. What about if when you go to MI to see him after he pops the question (maybe the next night so you can enjoy your engagement for one night alone) you can go out to eat with everyone to celebrate and pick the date then and there.

5th you’ll be fine we are here to help
