I read this article earlier and thought it must be a joke. Who in hell would expect wedding guests to go through this type of expense, not to mention the travel issues (time off work etc), to attend their version of the ideal wedding. Gee... ever heard of renting a local church or hall for all that then going on your honeymoon to that "ideal" place?
If the only way to "keep in touch" with her life is via fb then goodbye and good riddance. Who needs friends like that. Come to think of it, I sure haven't known anyone like this.
