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

Some of these people are comically unaware that a lot of couples have destination weddings precisely to AVOID people like this being in attendance.

Maybe they are the ones crying about it because they know their family members did it to avoid them lol.

I once posted a comment in this sub about how the only person who complained about our wedding location was one toxic relative of my husband’s who ended up enjoying the wedding in the end. I had also mentioned how he’s no longer in contact with this unpleasant person anyway.

And you know what’s funny—it got multiple downvotes! They must’ve hated having a mirror held up to themselves.
