I dislike destination weddings for two reasons:
The biggest one being that I only have four weeks off per year and I'm being forced to allocate one week of vacation to going somewhere where I likely have no interest going, with people that I may or may not like. I was recently invited to a destination wedding in Caribbean next July - why would anyone want to go to the tropics when it's the middle of summer in Calgary? Luckily I'm not very close with these people and don't feel the need to attend.
Also, I see it as the couple passing the cost of their wedding onto their friends and family. That's just greasy.
