I read that post a little differently. I read it to mean that often with a local wedding, you end up having people attend who you may not have seen in years, and are only going for the free food and booze. I have actually overheard people discussing friends' weddings and asking if it was cash or open bar; as that would make or break them going.
For most people that wouldn't be a significant percentage of the attendees. However a destination wedding does eliminate the process of:
- If I invite Joe I have to invite Bob.
- If Bob is going I have to invite Bill.
- Then if I invite Bill I have to invite Sally.
Personally I'm just glad that I'm at a point in my life where friends can say to each other "sorry I'm not inviting you to my wedding; just having a very small wedding."
