[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here… thanks for the input. It’s a small wedding with immediate family only (bride/groom paying for wedding themselves), so maybe this is why they chose to do a destination wedding. I don’t think my SIL has an issue with her parents, actually. I think she is either a little dense or inconsiderate. With it being such a small wedding I’m sure they are thinking everyone will come… I’m really not sure. I suppose because they are paying for it themselves they are meeting it small and doing what they want to do. I feel like they should have budgeted to help parents out or something at least, though.[/quote]

I mean if they're paying for it themselves, I can understand why they're asking for their parents to pay for their own travel. Bride's parents normally contribute something. Maybe she's miffed at their irresponsibility and having to pay for her wedding herself. [/quote]

I’m guessing that because they are paying it for themselves they just said let’s actually do what we want. I would go if possible and help your parents, but don’t worry about anyone else. Everyone can figure it out on their own. Again, I don’t think destination weddings are inherently selfish. Either go or don’t - they’re clearly doing this for themselves if it’s such a small wedding.
