[quote=Anonymous]+++1,000,000.  I hate destination ANYTHING.  It's an enormous imposition to put on another family.  I've done three of them (weddings) and will never do another.  The cost, the travel, the stress, the work issues, the dresses or suits, the sheer hassle of it all is mind-boggling.  No, I don't want to spent $15,000 to fly my family out to Napa and pay to stay at a posh Inn for your destination wedding.  I don't and won't.  Have your wedding there and your party here if you want family and friends to come.  The BM events are out of control as it is (poop or no).  Rabbis are trying to get parents to rein in the madness.  This is just another extreme example.  I know families who have eschewed the whole BM party madness and instead took their child on a tour of Israel.  Just the immediate family.  XLNT idea!  Bonding experience for the family.  Great photos.  More spiritual.  Long living memories. Much better to spend $100K on an extended family trip to Israel than an enormous theme party at a local Marriott.[/quote]
