Destination Weddings

This is not Dear Abby.


DEAR Jerkass: When spending thousands of dollars to attend a destination wedding, are you expected to give a gift to the bride and groom? -- JENNIFER IN NEW YORK

Dear Jennifer,
Fuck no.  Assholes want to have a wedding where only friends with money can go, then just avoid them altogether.
If you want to get married on top of a volcano, that's your prerogative.  But don't invite people to it, that's just fucking rude.  Destination weddings may as well be elopements.   Throw a party for everyone that can't come, while the bitch, er...bride is off on her wedding.
