Destination Weddings Thoughtless and Selfish
T
ammy: hi, dr. laura. my daughter is getting married in a month, and she has had
her wedding planned for a year now. It’s a destination wedding. And she’s told everybody, giving us all time to save up for this. Oh, stop. Just stop. How gracious
of her that all these people have to save money for her party. Yeah, that’s hilarious. First of all, I have always refused to go to a destination wedding. I think that’s the height of self-centeredness and thoughtlessness. Then it’s about their environment and not about the vows, and the beauty of having people who care about you and care about your vows there. They can always go to Mexico on their honeymoon. This is obnoxious, telling people they can save up for a year. If I were her mother, I would have gotten in her face and said, “How dare you? There’s a recession. There are problems. People have personal things, health things, and you want them to focus a year of their lives on you? I didn’t raise you that way.” That’s what I
would have said. But you know me, I am just a pain!
You know, honestly, Dr. Laura, it has been a nightmare. And I understand what you’re saying. And yes, I did raise that. And, you know, I love my daughter. And I raised her. I’m so bored of hearing that. If you
love your daughter and you’re very close, then you should have read her the riot act and said a lot of people aren’t coming. If they don’t have the money, so be it. They can visit you when you come back. That’s what I would have said to my daughter, whom I love. A lot of you call me and use “but I love my daughter” as a way of excusing the daughter, getting away with stuff like this. This is awful. So, you were calling because . . . what is it? Somebody in particular can’t make it and you don’t know what to do, I’m guessing.
Yes. Her ex-stepdad called me about two weeks ago. Good for him. I hope he doesn’t go, that’s how obnoxious your
Don’t put guests in the guilty position of having to sacrifi ce earnings and savings for your daughter’s ego.

daughter is. Obnoxious. Please take everybody off the hook. Please tell everybody you don’t support this. Please do the right thing by all these other people. Don’t put them in the guilty position of having to sacrifi ce earnings and savings for your daughter’s ego. Please don’t do that.
Oh, my gosh. Please get all these people off the hook so they don’t have to feel guilt.
Why do you think this is my responsibility to do this? Because your daughter is the
kind of person she is, and you’re not letting her get away with it with family members and friends. If she gave a damn about her stepfather, she’d buy him plane tickets and a hotel room. But this is all about her. Everybody has to sacrifi ce for her. What kind of a brat did you raise? Seriously, “but I love my daughter, so I’m not gonna cross her. I don’t want her to be mad at me. I want to stifl e her maturity.” By letting her get away with this? No. Anyway, that’s my point of view. So you can ignore it or not. That’s up to you.
