Millennials are obsessed with expensive destination weddings — and it’s costing them friendships

They object!
Millennial couples are sparing no expense with lavish and pricey weddings at destinations far from home — leaving strained guests thinking here comes the bill, not the bride.
Lovers dreaming of saying “I do” in a castle, on the beach, or at a cute rural escape are putting pressure on family and friends now more than ever before to attend costly affairs — ruining relationships in the process.
Despite a third of people saying in a 2019 survey that having a destination wedding was selfish, couples have no plans to stop cruising into matrimony away from home — even if inflation has caused travel and lodging fees to spike.
“We noticed a big uptick in people doing destination weddings in the last six months. We’re getting a lot of requests for 2025,” New York-based event planner Cameron Forbes told The Post.
Renata Narvaez, 28, was overwhelmed after learning she was invited to five destination weddings last year — all taking place in a span of three months.
