How do y'all feel about destination weddings?
Post Body

Attending one for first time and as the time approaches, bridezilla is subtly asking for more demands: guest dress codes, wedding celebration lasting for more than one day, destination bachelor parties (yup hubby going away), etc.

I am hating destination weddings and I don't ever want to go to one ever again. If they are fun well, this one wedding ruined it for me considering it will be my first and last time.

Yes it's your wedding. It should be about you, but we are celebrating you, not praising and bowing you. Ive heard most of the schedule and it seems like we are going to spend days taking pictures and posing. We are already spending a ridiculous amount of money to a destination that is costly, the least you could do is say hey, "no need for gifts" and nix the "strict dress code" that we have to buy.

Am I crazy?

Edit: Wow, I didn't think I would garner this many responses and upvotes. Thank you all. Also update, the bride is also thinking of maybe having a destination bachelorette party. Their wedding is in 2020 and everyone lives locally.

I think destination weddings, unless they are motivated by some good reason (like one of the spouses to be being from another country), are incredibly selfish. A) your wedding is probably 1 of 5 your guests are going to this year, they're shelling out loads of money without the price of plane tickets. B) demanding someone takes time off work for your party instead of their own vacation is terrible.

Unless you're willing to pay for everyone's tickets and hotels of course.
