Dear Amy: Since wedding season seems to be ramping up, I have a question about destination weddings.
My goddaughter and her fiance have decided to marry in a very far-off foreign location this spring. This is not an easy trip, and it is expensive.I assume she wanted a wedding that had very few people in attendance; she certainly could not expect her grandparents or anyone that could not afford the trip to attend. That’s fine, but honestly I hate the philosophy: “It’s the bride’s day.
Because of the pressure imposed by destination weddings, wedding showers seem to be changing, too. These more local showers are morphing into wedding celebrations that for many guests are more affordable and easier to attend than those far-off tropical weddings. I think you should embrace this opportunity to celebrate the wedding, and consider yourself spared from making a trip you can’t afford – or simply don’t want to – take.
