The article explores a dilemma faced by a friend who questions attending her best friend's destination wedding due to the high costs involved. The columnist, Prudie, reassures the writer that it is not selfish to decline attendance based on financial concerns. Instead, Prudie suggests considering alternatives, like celebrating locally after the wedding. This approach allows expressing support and joy for the friend without compromising one's budget or comfort during the event.
"One of the upsides of a destination wedding is giving everyone in your life a guilt-free reason for not attending. Just because it might not ruin you to spend more than $1,000 on a single weekend doesn’t mean you’re obligated to spend the money."
"If she’s one of your best friends and there’s any sort of compromise that feels workable and like it wouldn’t be too much of a strain on your budget, I think you should at least consider it."
