+1 everyone is so scattered that every wedding is a destination wedding for us. we go to the ones we can go to, miss the ones we can't. it has become a thing on my spouse's side of the family, which has largely congregated in the northeast - but this generation of kids keeps getting married in fairly random places (they all live in nj but someone got married in south carolina, another in kentucky, etc). people are grumbling about that, because they still feel obligated to attend. ("people" meaning my in laws, who do go to everything - we do not.)
i've had to miss weddings i wanted to go to because they were in really far flung places - polynesia, in one case - and i just didn't have the $ to go.
