The Excellence is wonderful.
Seems like a nice place. Really considering it for when the time comes for a honeymoon. I've seen mixed reviews on here though.

I'm embarrassed for you. Stop complaining and live your life how you want. Don't want to do something that costs a lot of money? THEN DON'T DO IT. Be a fcking adult. Make a decision and then keep living your life. You sound like a woman.

Then tell him, "Hey, quit complaining because I am paying $3000 to go to your wedding.
It's about to get to that point if he makes it one more comment. Ive been trying to be nice because a bunch of his family and friends told them they weren't paying that much to go!

Send them a nice gift and let it go at that. Been invited to a couple of these and didn't go.....mainly because the "destination" was schitty. To each his own.

Because there's obviously a difference in inviting inviting friends from out of town to your local wedding and going out of your way to move your local wedding to a far off place. And $700 is probably a fraction of what most people end up spending on destination weddings at resorts.
I agree. I should have reworded it. I guess I'm trying to get the point across that it's not that more of a hassle. Maybe financially...but what if you live in a remote town a good 3 or 4 hours away from a decent airport. Back to my Charleston to Houston wedding. Let's change Charleston to a remote, small town.
For example, if you lived in that shithole Clemson. You can fly from Clemson to Houston...you're probably looking at a $1,300 roundtrip fare. Otherwise, you've got to drive 3.5 hours to Charleston, Charlotte, or Atlanta to fly out. It's a lot of work.

All weddings are selfish..I and most everyone else would much rather be doing something other than going to a stupid arse wedding.

Destination weddings are the most selfish thing
I had a destination wedding, and thought the opposite. This way people who didn't really want to be there had an easy excuse not to be there. Plus the people who were "required" to be there aren't poor so we knew that wasn't a problem either. Turned out perfect, had about 60 people non of which were just these random people you barely know that you feel like needed an invitation to your wedding.

I've been in similar situations. I feel for you. It sucks the fun out of it after awhile.

Home or away game is irrelevant. I wish people would understand this. I'd rather sit on the couch and watch college football all day whether or not LSU is involved than go to your wedding.
Yeah, my friends didn't miss any games and my wedding wasn't even at a church. It was at the same place as the reception on my property with TVs.
It was a very casual wedding too, no one had to come if they’d rather watch football. Thankfully people didn’t mind eating my free Cajun food and drinking my free booze and watching football somewhere other than their couch. The TV area turned into basically a tailgate with football fans who happened to be wearing suits and dancing their asses off at halftimes and timeouts.
Most people chose to dance and party instead of watch tv though, even though the option was there. Not everyone's life revolves around college football.
I was the groom and I watched a lot of it though
ETA:
And I'd never do it during a Bama game or even a good road trip game. It was just a bunch of friends watching football together. Didn't cost them anything and they didn't miss anything. I love watching football with friends.

Well I did a destination wedding to Hawaii but didn't invite anybody. That's the only way to do it. We had a party when we got back.

For as masculine as the OT claims the be.. The OT sure cares a lot about weddings and always makes wedding threads go a ton of pages.

Isn't the bride to be in charge of the wedding? How did that work? Did y'all just agree to have it at your land?

Every single thread about Punta Cana on here the praise for Excellence is pretty universal. Not sure what you're seeing.

We wanted to do that so badly, but when presenting the idea to family, it was quickly realized how upset/sad they would be to miss the ceremony.

Yes, and its a plantation home so she asked my family if we could have it there.

If you have a wedding with guests, the couple getting married should have to sign a legal document stating that they'll stay together for at least 5 years no matter what.
If they fail to do so, they will both be incarcerated in prison for a minimum of 2 years.

Or reimburse those that paid for suits, travel, hotels, etc.

People in their 30s have kids. I'm not getting a sitter for the better part of a week for a stupid wedding.

Destination weddings are a much better investment for the guests.
or, alternatively, one could use that money to travel to a destination which doesnt require spending an entire day of your trip watching two sheep exchange weddings vows to an overweight, ordained minister.
going to a wedding is never an investment, its always a waste of money and 9/10 a waste of time.
