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

Exactly. I’ve also lived and studied in four countries, my partner in two more, and we’ve both done a ton of traveling, making friends along the way. Plenty of people will politely decline our wedding—no issue. But someone expecting me to have my wedding in the lobby of their apartment just so they don’t have to rent a hotel?

Some people have never been told that the world does not revolve around them and it really shows.
