I was recently invited to one in the mountains of Tennessee. Both bride and grooms entire families live in Houston. Seems odd in my opinion. What is the OTs opinion of destination wedding?

If it's in Gatlinburg, then politely decline and thank me later.

It is one of the most egotistical things on the planet. You're lucky I'm going to your wedding, you're out of your mind if you think I'm paying for a vacation that will get zero use because your dumbass can't get married at a local nice spot.
Buy them a breadmaker and tell them you need the vacation time for a niece or nephew, or just tell them they suck at life.

I got married in Playa del Carmen, so I guess you could say that I'm cool with them.

Personally I could never ask others to spend that much money and time to travel to my wedding. The best I have seen so far though is years ago ,when my wife and I had just got married, friends invited us to their wedding. Instead of normal wedding gifts they wanted everyone to contribute to their honeymoon which was diving the great barrier reef or some shite like that. I'm sitting at home broke, scrapping to make it month to month and I'm gonna help pay for someone' s elaborate honeymoon. Hell my wife and I went to New Orleans for our honeymoon.

If it were for me:
I wouldn't expect anyone outside of close family and friends to attend. No expectations of acquaintances or distant family to go. And I better be balling enough to pay for everybody. Otherwise it's a dick move.

It's nice for the bride and groom but a HUGE inconvenience for everyone else. If it's not within 2.5 hours from Lafayette I'm not going. I've had people get really mad and offended but I'm not wasting my vacation days and money on someone else's wedding. They can get over themselves.

The ones at all-inclusive beach resorts are super trashy. The wedding is practically free because all guests have to purchase overpriced rooms.
Tennessee seems okay. They probably just want the pretty mountain pictures.

Once you've been to 100 of your typical regular church/country club type weddings, destination weddings are fun change up. Especially if you can work a vacation around it.

Basically it's a polite way of saying we don't want a bunch of people at our wedding (outside of close family and friends) , just send us a gift.

Destination weddings are awesome as long as the bride and groom don't get butthurt when some folks choose not to or can't attend.
