My FI and I decided the destination wedding was perfect for us, neither of wanted anything traditional. We did the same in asking the ones we wanted their most first. Everybody gave us the same replies as you. Yes!! we will definitely be there. We both understand that times are hard in the world right now so we are giving everybody 2 years!! 2 years to save some money we believe is a great amount of time!! Then my FI's "best man" is now giving him crap, although in the end I know he will be there but just leave us alone!! A lot of people have been asking why don't we just have it here? Not everyone will go you know.. our answer to that is it is what we want to do... You want to make you and your future husband happy and that is it! When you look back on your wedding day in ten years what do you want to remember? You still have a bit of time people may change your mind.. Don't change something that you want for somebody else's happiness!! This is your day, you can video your wedding or those who can't make it OR they do live broadcasts over the Internet. Hope this helps a bit
