[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]

I think there's a big difference between traveling to a wedding and a destination wedding.  My niece lives in Austin and is getting married next year in...Austin.  My SIL referred to it as a destination wedding. Sorry- a destination wedding would be if she is getting married in a completely random place like Cabo.  [/quote]

Exactly!  Why do some people want to make the meaning something it is not?  It basically means "random place" - more than an hour plane ride, no ties, etc. It does NOT mean "somewhere the rude guest complains about". LOL.[/quote]

I'd rather go to Cabo on a cheap flight than travel to middle of nowhere Oregon that's like, trains, planes and automobiles into the country to get to the wedding destination. I care primarily about accessibility and ease of travel more than the "connection" to a place. You live in Los Angeles, your families are in New Hampshire and Atlanta and you want to get married in Chicago? Have at it, that's an easy trip for me. You're from rural Maine? Ehhh....[/quote]
