[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teen boys.

If they don't have a destination wedding, we will pay for a very nice honeymoon of their choosing within a generous budget.

Obviously, having 2 boys, we will have zero say in the matter since the bride usually gets what she wants in every wedding detail.

[b]We find destination weddings to be so tacky, gauche, shallow and selfish.[/b]

For these reasons and more, we would be really embarrased if our kids have a destination wedding that requires such imposition on guests and loved ones, just to get your guests to pay for your wedding and so you can get fancy beach photos for social media.

If they choose poorly and end up with a bride that insists on a destination wedding, we will zip our mouths, smile politely,  gush about how pretty the beach photos will be, and pay for a block of rooms for the family on our side who are able to attend, to lessen their financial burden, but we will not pay for a honeymoon.[/quote]

I have something even tackier.  My daughter had to go to a bachelorette party in a South American country and the wedding will be in different South American country.  Bride and groom are Americans.     [/quote]
