[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised so many posters are offended by destination weddings. I have never been to one but I thought people typically kept them smaller and didn’t expect everyone to attend. It’s not like you’re required to go, it’s just an invitation. [/quote]

I don't really get it either, unless all of your friends and family live in the same area, it's going to be a destination wedding for some people even if that destination is your hometown. I'm in DC and almost all of the weddings I have attended have required travel. [/quote]

Me and my circle think of "destination weddings" as a place where neither the bride nor groom has ties, but they basically marry where they are honeymooning. It saves work for the bride and groom, but not for everyone else!

If the bride OR groom is from (born and raised) Chicago (for example), and they choose to get married in Chicago, that is NOT a destination wedding, as it is a reasonable presumption that approximately half of the wedding invitees are from the Chicago area. ie: not a random place that every single guest and family member has to travel to, and to which no one has ties.

Add to this that destination weddings usually happen in places that are overpriced, overcrowded, with little choice re: accommodations and are often pain in the butt to get to.  [/quote]
