Spring is the time for weddings. It’s a beautiful time of
year. I spoke to a nice young man who’s having a destination wedding next month.
“That’s wonderful,” I told him. So people will travel to wherever to go to his
wedding. Good for him and his bride.
But really now, isn’t every wedding a destination wedding? I
mean, have you ever spoken with someone at a wedding who said something like, “We
were on the way home from the fish market so we thought we’d come to this
wedding.” No, people go to a wedding to go to a wedding.
Other destination events do not work so well. The
“Destination Birth” does not work well unless you have a history of long labors
and don’t mind the travel. The “Destination Bar-mitzvah” has not caught on
although there is the occasional Rabbi who enjoys travel. But the Bar Mitzvah personalized candy bar
appears to be quite popular. This is where you put the young man’s picture on
the wrapper. You have to be careful with these however, and you’ll want to
avoid reducing these events to a simple “Candy Bar Mitzvah”. Sweet.
I’ve not really thought through this, but as a reformed
Christian, I think I believe in “pre destination” weddings.
