[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We flew around 130 guests to the Maldives for our wedding.  It cost around $1.4 million but was well worth it.[/quote]
Seriously, I have a feeling DD would like a destination wedding.  What are the guests expected to pay for and what is usually paid for by whoever pays for the wedding? [/quote]

In general, when couples want a "destination wedding" they are expecting their guests to foot their own travel/accommodation costs.   That is why a lot of people tend to get upset when people talk about "destination weddings" because it is really a pretty selfish thing for a bride and groom to expect everyone else to spend so much money just to attend the couple's "special day."

Now, if a couple is covering the transportation and lodging costs for all their guests, the idea of a destination wedding doesn't seem nearly as selfish.    A lot of guests might still balk due to the inconvenience, time off work, etc.--but personally I'd be thrilled to go to the Maldives on someone else's dime!   :)[/quote]
