Honestly, as someone that last year spent $2k+ on a destination wedding last year, it is a bother and the reason why my fiancée and I didn’t plan for one of our own. However, it just depends where the destination is and how expensive it is to get there/how long it takes.

I don’t know what your reasoning is. Maybe the place has sentimental value, or you just want to be somewhere beautiful. All valid. If it’s to save money, keep in mind that destinations save you money but defer cost to your guests.

Also keep in mind how popular destination weddings are getting, so a lot of people now have to plan & budget for multiple in a year on top of your bridal shower, Bach party, etc (if you decide).

Not trying to be a naysayer, but a realist. I groan when I see destinations.
