[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had our wedding in key west with very close friends and family only, no 'extras'.  We had three people ask us if they could bring a date and we said no due to the small wedding we wanted to have and locale, budget, etc.  all three brought the others and no gifts, which is beyond tacky.  At any rate, we were really irritated at the time but what do you do at your own wedding?  You move on and get over it.  It has been 7 years for us and I no longer care.   [/quote]

Actually I sympathize with your guests here. If you are going to have a destination wedding and expect people to travel then the least you can do is spring for a dinner for their significant other.  [/quote]

I was going to give a similar reply to this post.  By the time they flew to Key West, rented cars and rooms you're lucky they showed up.   I had friends who didn't give gifts and rented cars to drive 1.5 hours plus hotel rooms.  Had us over for a nice dinner and paid a bar bill whatever.   I assume the date bringers were not established aunts/uncle types.   Traveling to Key West isn't cheap.[/quote]

While I agree that it was tacky to show up with a date after being explicitly told not to, I've got to third that it's pretty unreasonable to invite people to a destination wedding and expect them to come alone. Maybe if it was three close girl friends or something, but I hope it wasn't people who didn't know anyone other than you!  Destination wedding tend to be annoying for this kind of reason. Really very few people want to spend that much money and vacation time for a wedding. Particularly if they are then expected to come alone. If it was a small geoup, I can't imagine it would have been that much money or space to make a few of your guests more comfortable by allowing +1s. [/quote]
