Honeymoon there. Don't make others go.

Don't get married then.

Don't do it

Who needs to go out of the country to get married? I got married in the Rubicon parking lot.

Good luck. People are going to ask why you’re spending so much on a wedding and not just going to city hall.

Is her last name Trump or Gates? Stupid and a waste of money to have your family fly all the way out there just for a wedding. Why not honeymoon there instead? This would be a red flag for me not gonna lie, she needs more common sense than that.

It would just be our parents. Don't see that as a problem

So you're basically just bringing your parents on your honeymoon. I don't get it.

Well, considering the high probability that her whoreness will wear on you within the first 3-5 years resulting in divorce, it isn't cost effective.

In another take on the situation, it sounds a lot like you guys are attention whores, and are the type that will make this more about "look at us" on Facebook etc than anything once it's over.

Go frick yourself. You pussy whipped frick.

Do not listen to this advice. This is YOUR wedding. Do what YOU want to do.

You're not forcing anyone to go. I did a destination wedding and everyone absolutely loved it.

Now...it was not in Italy, it was in the Caribbean, but it was still awesome.

Here is some advice:

Give people who do want to go plenty of time. I would suggest two years, but at least a year. Set up a travel agent that can make all of the arrangements and put people on payment plans that want to go.

Make it clear to people, everyone, that they do not need to feel obligated to go. That is where you two will be getting married and if people want to come and make a vacation out of it, they are more than welcome.

Let people know there will be an at home reception for those that can not attend. I hated the at home reception. Hated it. But I like that I got some pictures and so on with my grandfather who could not make our wedding but was at the reception and is now deceased.

You do have to handle it in a certain way. You have to bend over backwards to let people know they are not obligated to spend that kind of money.

But this is for you guys.

If it's what you and your fiancée want to do, and yall are the ones paying for it then it's the right decision. Marriage is between you and your partner, not everyone else.

We had the big wedding and all the other things that go along with it. It was great and awesome. However, I would have been just as happy doing it with immediate family anywhere else in the world as well.

*I would just elope instead of asking others to plan and pay for that kind of trip.

Don't do it. You'll piss people off.
