Really? That's hard to believe. From what I've heard, destination
weddings are an easy way to limit the guest list. Of course, they act
disappointed that you "can't make it" to their wedding in Timbuktu,
but in reality they're jumping up & down, cheering that there will be
one less person in attendance.

The intent is that only very close friends and immediate family will
want to attend and not very many of them either.
