Maybe these people are having a DW to make sure you dont come!
Oh trust me...they want me there cuz apparently I'm the only one who would give a decent gift (as previously stated). Doesn't mean I don't think it's quite obnoxious.

I'm having a destination wedding because I think merging a lovely family vacation and a big family event seems... well... lovely

OP, however, is not lovely. At all.

Unfortunately she is real and is dealing with PCOS

Who would have thought that an intelligent, "healthy," beautiful, bright, successful woman would have to deal with such a detrimental issue?

I mean, just a little. It's not like I hate people who have them or would refuse to go if it was my best friend. It just makes it less likely that I will attend, and costs me more to go if I do really want to see the person get married, so that makes me sad, and makes them not my cup of tea.

pinkpinot · June 2010

Quotequeen I have to disagree. Regular weddings can cost just as much to attend as a DW. The package for my wedding, including airfare (3 nights, all inclusive meals & drinks) is around $800 - $900, depending on when you booked your flight.

I have a wedding, 15 miles from home next weekend that FI and I have already spent about $900.00 on. We each spent $200+ on the bachelor/bachlorette weekends, I spent $100.00 on the shower gift, $130.00 on the hotel for the night since we don't want to drink & drive and I still have to round up $200.00 for the wedding gift.

And I'm in a wedding soon and I've already spent the same amount on the BM dress, shoes etc.

I am not having a shower or bach party. I'm not having an at home reception either. I'm just saying regular weddings can add up too...

MarriedInAFever · June 2010

I'm now convinced she is real. And that makes me sad.

salt78 · June 2010

Pinot - Where are you getting married again? I did a little b-party with the women that came along for the trip while we were at the resort like two days before the wedding and it was ridiculously fun.

shanlubey · June 2010

Whenever someone says we should be jealous of where they are from, just pick apart where they are from.

FIST PUMP!! I am so jealous.

I actually wish I knew someone with a DW so I could have an extra excuse to travel.

Posted by pinkpinot[/QUOTE]

I kinda disagree with you though pink. I don't count my gift and bach party expenses as part of travel for the wedding. And I also don't buy a shower gift AND a wedding gift. We would also normally drive for whatever wedding we're attending, so the expense would be way higher for a DW (esp in another country) than for smething local.

Posted by pinkpinot[/QUOTE]

Well I don't think that's really fair, since most of what you're talking about is extra events and gifts. If I did go to a DW, it wouldn't change the amount I would spend on a gift, and I don't spend more if there's a shower, I just split up my total gift budget into smaller pieces. I also don't do weekend bach parties, and I wouldn't get a hotel for something 15 miles from home. So if <strong>I</strong> were attending your wedding vs. the wedding you're talking about in your post, it would still cost me $900 more for your wedding.

LauraT25 · June 2010

I think $800 for three nights, all inclusive meals and drinks sounds like an awesome deal. A lot of my family has to fly, and they'll be spending at least two nights in a hotel, so it's doubtful they'll spend less than that, not including meals and drinks.

Edit: and they will be stuck in Baltimore, NOT getting to enjoy Jamaica or some other awesome destination.

pinkpinot · June 2010

I don't know Whit, I've just been adding up what I've spent on the 2 weddings I have coming up and realized it equaled out to about the same price for my wedding. But I see what your saying. I just think people are quick to assume it costs sooooooo much more and maybe forget that even a local wedding with all the events can add up quickly for guests as well. So my point is, don't get married it's expensive. :-)

Salt, I'm getting married in Jamaica and I'm totally stealing your bach party idea.

emilyinchile · June 2010

Damnit guys, I'm late to this one and she got the clue to make the photobucket private. What's with this telling her about internet security and ruining all the fun?

emilyinchile · June 2010

And wow, I just scrolled down the Google page and am creeped out that I now have what appear to be OP's full name and phone number.

mwhitson14 · June 2010

Pink, I totally see what you're saying, but I normally wouldn't change my gift giving or bach party fun, DW or not. So in the end, the cost of travel would end up being more for me. I couldn't afford $900 to attend a DW, but I could afford a few tanks of gas and a cheap a*ss hotel room, as well as McDonalds for a meal or two

EDIT: I would still totally love to go to your wedding and see you in your stunning dress though

I don't begrudge the B&G for wanting a DW.

pinkpinot · June 2010

Yeah I gotcha and quotequeen too, you bring up valid points which don't validate my theory so eff you guys, oh sorry is my Jersey showing?

Oh would you look at that, the photobucket IS private. I thought LUV didn't know what a photobucket was?
