Mom makes son's life extra-lunchable
I am on a very limited income and just can't afford this. What is your opinion on destination weddings.
-- K
Dear K: Most weddings are a destination wedding for some (out of town) guests, but true "destination weddings," where the couple chooses a spot mutually unavailable to all guests, put a significant burden on people. Some couples choose destination weddings because they are blind to the burden (or simply don't care); others choose destination weddings because they don't actually want all of their guests to attend.
I had a destination wedding many years ago. At the time it seemed like a dreamy escape. My perspective on this now is that it was fairly selfish.
Dear Amy: I normally don't like your advice, but for once I agreed with you when you told "Neighborly" that they should not out their trans friend, "Susan," to the gentleman who was romantically interested in her.
People need to mind their own business!

Dear Reader: I'm glad I got this one right (in your opinion).
