You can go your own way….
The good thing about when I used to only have a few friends was that you only have to deal with the potential of a few weddings. But two people I know (not close friends) are having their weddings out of the country in the next few months. I do not like this trend. I had a friend a few years ago ask some of her friends to come to Las Vegas to attend her wedding, when there were plenty of places she could have gotten married locally. Only because I had recently done a refinance of my condo did I remotely have the money to undertake this venture. But if I were a better money manager, I would NOT have gone, nor batted an eyelash about it. So, several months ago, I get an invitation from a “not close” friend to join them on some cruise to some place for like $1,200. Seriously? What is this about? And now there is another wedding my boyfriend and I are being asked to attend in the Bahamas. This just irritates me. If you really care so much about having your friends with you for this event, why don’t you do them all a favor and get married locally where they can attend for free and then YOU go off to the tropical locale on something they used to call a HONEYMOON! Heard of it? By asking your friends to join you on this jaunt, you’re putting a financial hardship on them. So much for being a good friend. Do the hormones and pheromones of getting married make brides-to-be lose their minds? We’re not all sucking on the same helium as you. Enjoy your engagement, have your wedding – the smaller, the better – and then GO AWAY.
