[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with a destination wedding? [/quote]
Nothing is wrong, IMHO, with having a wedding wherever and however you want. A lot is wrong, IMHO, with having it somewhere expensive, inconvenient, and then guilt-tripping friends and relatives for not attending. In fact, a lot is wrong with doing that even if it is somewhere cheap and easy to get to.

Basically, the problem is guilt-tripping people you care about for not attending your wedding. The problem is also guilt-tripping the bride and groom for not having the wedding you wanted them to have.

That said, I agree with several PPs that this is nothing about the wedding and everything about unresolved issues around your DH not living close to his family. I get it. Not quite so severe, but I get it. It's your ILs issue, not yours. DH doesn't call his mom enough. He didn't when he lived less than an hour from her either. But not it's my fault, because MIL can't think anything bad about her perfect son. Nevermind the fact that at least now he "remembers" her birthday and to do things like send her flowers on Mother's Day. It's not what she really wants, which is apparently for him never to have left her home, so it's my fault.[/quote]
