On the other hand, I have friends that actually want all their friends and families to celebrate with them and thus are doing a local wedding, but are struggling with the $20,000 (conservative) cost of having one here. I respect that a lot more than forcing the costs and vacation time onto your guests.
Destination wedding just tells me you don't want anyone to be there. That's fine, I'll oblige and politely decline. We'll still be friends though!

Completely agree and couldn't have said it better myself.
