It pisses me off when people get offended because you RSVP no to their destination wedding in Australia, Hawaii, or Thailand.
Like 15 years ago I RSVPed yes to one of my good friend’s destination wedding like over a year in advance and then ended up getting really sick and going on medical EI then welfare for about 2 years. Obviously I could no longer afford to go and he was not having any of it. We’ve barely spoken since where we used to hang out at least once a week and I vowed to basically never go to weddings at all. I ended up softening my stance several years ago but, like I said above, I’m not doing it if it’s not within driving distance.

This is a real thing.
One of my best friends invited me to be his best man at his wedding in Chile (at that point I had met his wife only once).
I ended up not going, neither did any of his other close buddy's out here.
We still hangout from time to time (he's moved to Toronto), but our friendship has never been the same since then, he really held that against me.
Come on man, Chile? We had just dropped big $$$ on a vacation literally a month before he sent the RSVP, and although I plan to visit Chile one day, it's not even in my Top 10 bucket list destinations.
Ah well.
