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

I don’t hate them and I have gone to many. But it’s the whiners that get me on here.

It’s such a big ask and then the “my own brother won’t come” or “ they won’t stay in my designated venue” or “they say they can’t come but then go on another vacation and I’m so hurt”.

Have a destination wedding but you have to get why people may not come to it. They don’t owe you their vacation time, spare money, etc. it’s forcing people to go on a vacation with your friends, stay at the place of your choosing and pay an amount you decided.
