destination weddings

what is your opinion on someone who has a destination wedding  that all her family goes to and then she and her dh do not go to any of those family member weddings?  (which are not destination, just in each couples home town) ?

Re: destination weddings

  • I don't see how to the two are related.  If people go to their wedding, it's their choice. They do not owe anybody anything for it. I seriously doubt it's a situation where there's a wedding every weekend in your family, so it just may be that the wedding dates conflict with something they have going on.

  • I would find it odd if family is getting married in their town/ city and they do not go to any of the weddings. It would irk me a little if I made an effort and went to said couples destination wedding and they did not come to mine (when my wedding is 15 minutes from them). 

    There is nothing you can do. Just try to let it go. 

  • Traveling to a wedding- whether in another's hometown or at a resort is costly in terms of cash and vacation time. Maybe they don't have extra in their budget.
  • My opinion is: there is always one person like this in everyone's family or circle of friends. The person who has all these events and then turns around and does not attend or even acknowledge your event. Or doesn't attend yours and then expects you to attend theirs. Just a part of life and you have to decide how you want to respond.

  • There's always one...maybe they had legit conflicts? I have a cousin who never goes to showers or family things, but expects everyone to be at hers. I went to her baby shower and only half the family members were there that will be attending mine ( which I'm sure she won't) because people are over it and mostly just went to support her mom who does go to all events. For people in my family like this we've started sending a representative, ie just my mom will go, or my aunt and we all sign card/gift but this way we all don't have to attend. 
  • I agree, this just happened to me at my wedding.
