Yep.

Destination weddings will be far more stressful to plan.

You will have more people unable to come to it than you would otherwise.

Start praying now that flights go smoothly without cancellations and no luggage is lost, particularly the wedding dress etc...

Don't forget about having to plan the rehearsal activities and other activities for guests. It's not just the wedding.

Make transportation available for the guest to attend the rehearsal, wedding and other activities.

What could possibly go wrong? A lot.

Yep and also have to take into consideration those that have kids that may travel with them. You better allow kids at the wedding or a lot of people won’t go. It’s one thing to get a sitter for the night at a local wedding….a whole other thing to arrange for child care while you have to go on a trip for a wedding

11 years ago when I got married I had my wedding dress in a garment bag and the airline was kind enough to hang it in a separate closet they had.

No way in hell that would happen now. You would be better off shipping it ahead of the wedding and hope it doesn’t get lost.


Also…my former in-laws almost didn’t even make it to the wedding. Former mother in law got violently ill on the plane and spent most of their supposed fun “trip” in a hotel near the houston airport trying to get some motion sickness patches so they could get on another flight to us. They literally arrived in Florida 2 hours before the wedding.


OP’s fiancee doesn’t seem emotionally stable enough to plan a destination wedding

I'm a big fan of "local" destination weddings, ie, events at nice places that are within a few hours for the large majority of your attendees. I like a purely local wedding too, but I don't want to be on a 5 hour flight to go to your wedding for the most part.

Here in Atlanta, that tends to be Highlands/Cashiers, 30A, Biltmore, Sea Island, etc. Many on the invite list likes these places anyway so it's not some massive/one off undertaking. It's unique for some, comfortable for many, good balance IMO.
