my family and that of xshub all live in other states, when our daughter gets married next Sept, everyone is going to have to take time off to even get here for a Sat wedding, getting married in the middle of the week would mean taking much more time off. I think it’s ridiculous to do it just for the sake of a date.
What about all of the couples who opt for a “destination” wedding? That’s very popular these days and designed to limit the guest list. How many potential guests can afford to jet off to Italy, or the Bahamas, for a wedding, even if they are related to teh bride and groom?
