The next door neighbors' son had his wedding in Hawaii, so his parents flew out all the guests and put them up in a posh hotel for 5 days.

Some people hold weddings at a resort, expect their guests to pay their own costs, and get offended if some of the people they invite can't/won't shell out that kind of money. Tacky!

Haha, that article is right above the Penny Pincher contest!

Sorry, I'd rather spend the airfare on the electric bill. Wrap the happy couple up a nice toaster and be done with it.

One of the advantages of holding a wedding in a far-off locale is that it keeps away all those peripheral people you don't want to invite, but for reasons of decorum, would've had to invite if you'd gotten married at home ;)

I agree, though, about expecting folks to pay their own way.
