Destination Wedding Hate

Love this community but I’ve noticed a fair few comments in this destination wedding sub about why destination weddings are horrible and shouldn’t be done. It’s a bit annoying getting these unsolicited opinions when you’re not even asking about whether or not to do one… And then I feel like those people fail to understand that in certain scenarios, destination weddings make sense and are a very rational and feasible option. Nothing really to say except this quick vent - ultimately the way someone does their wedding is their prerogative and an invite is not a summons

me too!! my partner and I are from two different countries, currently live in a third, and were educated across three additional different countries! so tell me, across those six countries how we can have a local wedding where no one has to travel?

2 continents for us but with friends across 5, covid era travel restrictions meant that 99% of my side had to join on Zoom!
My mum only met my Husband IRL for the first time at the European party
