I think people are looking at this the wrong way.
the wedding day is and should be ALL about the couple getting married, not the parents, friends etc. Of course it is nice to have a wedding that everyone can attend but if what the couple wants to have a destination wedding then a destination wedding it is.
I doubt that any married couple intends to make people "feel obligated" to attend their wedding. They have made the decision to get married at that location an would like to celebrate with whomever can attend.
One of my best friends had a destination wedding last year that I was a part of and it was awesome. Everyone stayed at the same resort so there were always people to go on excursions with and it was really easy to interact/meet his wife's side of the family this way as well.
I have only had this one experiance but it was awesome and I would really enjoy going to another destination wedding.
