To try and go "This isn't about the money; this is about friendship" is total bu11$hit because it is about the money. Its great that you don't think $2000 is a lot of money and can afford to go to a destination wedding but for some people that equals two month's rent.

Two months rent? Where do you live? Most places to rent these days are in the 1300-1500 range.
And yeah...2000/person in addition to the vacation time...that's asking a lot of a lot of people.
"Most people will go on 1-2 holiday vacations a year"...I must be doing something wrong. My wife and I go on one every other year and consider ourselves lucky amongst our friends, who tend to go on 1 every 3-4 years.
