Timing doesn't work for you? No problem, we'll get together another time.
Money's tight? I understand, you can come over for dinner or something.
But to think a couple should change all of their plans to accommodate everyone? That's some lowest denominator BS.
Edit: I'd have to actually really think about it, but I'm pretty sure I've been to more destination weddings than not. I've definitely been to more destination weddings than not. They're awesome! It's an amazing way to go places and do things that I may not have done otherwise.

Not sure hyperbole is the best in this circumstance, but they should consider what's reasonable, yes. If everyone is well off, sure, do something high end, but what if they're the most well off vs. their guests? Most guests can afford to put out ~$150 per person, but expecting someone to pay more than $1500 isn't exactly reasonable for many. It's more than just the bride and grooms' day. It's the parents and siblings as much as anyone's, to be happy for them. Gotta consider others' reasonable circumstances.
