There was never such a thing as a destination wedding when I was in my 20's (I'm almost 70 now). That was called elopement and the couple went off by themselves to get married.

Marriage has become a huge industry and resorts and venues abroad are taking advantage of it. Also young people have a lot more money than we did. Traveling to another country was a big expensive deal back then. Our honeymoon was camping in northern Michigan (which we drove to with our bikes on the car). You know what? We had fun with our friends and family (and the weddings were about family back then as much or more than about friends as they were reunions for the parents and their siblings as well). My parents and my husband's parents were my main focus to be honest. I wanted them to have a good time (I mean they stayed married for 62 years and I'm on my way to that as well . . . same for my husband's parents).

A lot of these weddings are for Instagram and Facebook. Thank God we didn't have that back then. Life is not better because you spent all that money. The most fun I had at a wedding was in a park with a catered meal. It was a lovely day. Informal attire. Local band. [/quote]
