From the sounds of this story the groom was in on it too. Can’t speak for the guests, vendors.
This couple...sound like Yuppies. They will never have kids and just live “trendy” lives.
Weird.
I understand people’s wanting to have a glamorous resort vacation. I just don’t understand why a wedding has to be done at the same time. Have a nice wedding where most of your friends or relatives live, and then go on a trip.
My daughter’s wedding was one without children. It was a beautiful venue right on the river. Without fencing. It was a safety issue. Rowdy children, drunk parents, really gave us no choice.
