I got married in April of this year.

Destination wedding wasn't even considered. We both have very close families and lots of friends so we wanted everyone to be able to make it.

Plus, I don't get to suit up very often so I liked that. The thought of getting married in flip-flops, clam digger linen pants and Tommy Bahama Hawaiian shirt doesn't appeal to me. But lots of people are the opposite and would actually prefer that.

I've only been to one (Vegas) and declined one (Mexico). The one I declined was partially because they chose a pretty exclusive resort. Although I am pretty close with the bride/groom, it was difficult to justify the cost.

The one destination wedding I attended was awesome though. A big multiple day party, basically.

If you are having a destination wedding, I'd say make sure you give everyone lots of notice to save up and get time off, make arrangements for kids/school etc.

Have fun, and CONGRATS!
