Destination weddings work for some people, but they aren't great for all. If you have a big family or group of friends who regularly go on trips together, it's probably fine. Everyone has lives that mesh well for travel together and you probably like the same things.
If not, it can be difficult. Vacations are not cheap and you are asking people to let you choose the time and place for their next vacation. That's a big ask. (And, yes, if most guests live across the country from you, it probably won't make much difference if you invite them to Calgary or Mexico, but if most of your guests live near you, it's a big difference.)
Anyone I've known who married someone from another country tended to have a wedding in one "home" location and then a reception type event in the other "home" location.
Oh, one other thing about planning the wedding for a certain day of the trip. Some countries have legal requirements about how far ahead you can get a marriage license, etc. so if you want the wedding on a certain day, you will need to check that for your destination first.
