[quote=Anonymous]My H and I had a destination wedding and it was awesome. We originally planned to elope and it be just us. Then when we told my MIL, she realized our date matched up with BIL's school break (he was much younger) and said, we can go too! On my side, the only people I really wanted there were my parents. So we had about 8 guests, all close family. I'm happy that all the people I cared about the most were there for us.

The travel was a lot for my parents, but I know they would have NEVER in a million years visited this destination if I hadn't gotten married there. They saw so many things they'd never seen, and it was the most relaxed I've ever seen my parents. They still talk about that trip 25+ years later, and my mom happened to take the best photo of us.

My situation may be different in that it was very small and just immediate family. We have an acquaintance who also got married in the same destination with only immediate family present. About a month later they had a HUGE reception in their hometown with a few hundred people. I feel like that was a good compromise between wanting a destination wedding and wanting a large wedding party.[/quote]
