"Why don't you want to come to my wedding?"

"I want to come but I can't afford a ticket overseas."

"Whatever, if you want to stay home and miss out on life that's your decision I guess."

Apparently me saying no to this wedding was the last straw for them, because they're always asking me to do things I can't afford and they don't seem to understand why I can't despite me telling them every time that I am poor. So now I'm the bad person because I'm totally being poor and "holding myself back" on purpose.

If they want to burn this bridge they can fuck right off. I've had enough of this shit.

It's so presumptuous. Unless you're paying for your guests' travel and lodging, you should not have a destination wedding. People who decide to have weddings in other countries and don't pay for guests just reek of "I'm irresponsible with money but I'm also a trustfund baby so I can't fail. I definitely do not have the money for this thing, yet I'm doing it anyway to make myself look successful."

Then they do shit like a bachelor's party at a strip club and a bride wanting her special day before they get divorced in 3 months.
