Destination Weddings. They Suck. Prove me wrong.

It's just eloping but taking your friends and family on the ride.

I think it is wrong. This trend is ego driven and bad form IMO. Just effing elope.

When you come home have a party or wedding reception where your family and friends are. But don't make everyone pay out the ass so you can drag them to an Island or Europe or wherever your vanity takes you.

Just stop it. The wedding industry is bad enough as it is.

I had a chapel booked in Gatlingurg and a honeymoon suite with a heart shaped tub. Guess I gotta cancel that now

No. You and your betrothed should do that if YOU want. But don't drag everyone else there based on their feeling a obligation to do so. Get married in her home town. Then social norms say that your out of town guests come to the brides home. Fine. But y'all dragging both sides to your choice of venue.....wrong.

Your first wedding should be nice. Just not over the top.

Your first wedding should be nice. Just not over the top.

And in the brides "home turf."

IMO eloping is the way to go. Big weddings are a big waste of $

Make sure to also cancel the Papa John’s delivery.

Peoples mindset is all wrong imo. It seems that some couples view it as “its a privilege that you’re invited to my wedding” but I think that’s ridiculous - you should be grateful that people want to come and celebrate you and you should make it as easy as possible for them to attend and enjoy themselves as you’re the host. Just MO anyway. We had a destination wedding in Mexico we attended that the bride and groom paid for entirely except the flight - that was amazing. Other than that the most expensive wedding I went to (which was ridiculous - was in a castle in New York where a Taylor swift music video was shot - had a caviar bar and ice Iuges - a guy rolling cigars - just ridiculous probably half a million) the couple got divorced two years later 😂

Wasi. nvited,the wife and me and her mom and our daughter. Her side of the family. They paid discount rate and we paid a prorated something. In cancun. It was nice. All we had to was hang in the pool drinks included, all inclusive and took turns watching the kids. 3 foot deep but kids. Not in the wedding party. It was cool. Being around something we didn't have to be the adults in charge all the time. Huge help.

Theyre not for you.
You not coming is a an extra benefit.
Your nieces and nephews don't want to listen to you bitch about whatever grandpa 70s Rock the dj isn't playing or the food being served.
They get to go someplace nice and be around friends they actually like, and still let mom feel good she invited her jackass deadbeat brother.
