[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Slightly different perspective - We had a destination wedding in Scotland 10+ years ago. My husband is from there and his parents still lived there - his dad was in a care home so couldn't travel. So if we wanted his dad at the wedding, which we did, it had to be where he was. We had about 70 people attend, and only 8-10 of them lived in the UK; everyone else traveled.

That’s not a destination wedding. It’s very normal to have a wedding in one spouse’s hometown where their parents still live, or in the place the couple now lives. Somewhere NO ONE lives is a destination wedding. [/quote]

I think when 75+ percent of people have to travel it's kind of a distinction without much difference.[/quote]

"destination wedding" usually means that the couple don't have a connection with the location - they're getting married on vacation and want you to come with.

you're right that to the extent we always have to travel for weddings, it can be a distinction without a difference - but i think that there's a lot of judgment about people picking random places and forcing people to spend a lot of moeny and time traveling there, as opposed to getting married someplace where you have a sincere connection and a good reason for making everyone travel there.[/quote]
