Today, my in-laws decided they were going to stay an extra week during our vacation to Dominican Republic next year. This would be fine, if we weren't travelling for our destination wedding, and the extra week wasn't our honeymoon. They are literally joining us on our honeymoon. FML

How about just telling them no? you gotta set the boundaries early on, or they'll just do as they please and never respect you.

Just copulate aggressively and loudly the first night and see if they still want to join you for the next six days.

why don't you tell them that you don't feel comfortable with that and that you want to be alone with your husband/wife....

What do you expect people to do for a "destination wedding"? Spend all that money, then turn around and leave?

They could go before the wedding and not stay after

Do any couples take into account the cost for guests to attend a destination wedding? From experience, I think most guests of destination weddings will incorporate a vacation at the same time/location to make it cost effective. You have essentially decided their vacation location for them and now you're angry at them? "Please spend $100's to travel to our wedding, but leave the location immediately following the reception, do not pass Go, do not collect $200"... Sorry I digress.

They could easily go a week before the wedding for their vacation.

So it is ok to expect them to pay out to attend your wedding because you chose to get married abroad but when they want to make the most of have flights etc and extend it into a 2 week holiday (as this May have to be their holiday for the year) you take objection? This is why we are travelling onwards for our honeymoon, if people want to continue their holiday they can.

Those woodwind instruments can get really loud during a jazz-off.

I think they're well within their rights to stay for an extra week. Traditionally, after the wedding, you travel away for your honeymoon. You're the ones that should be moving on after the wedding if you want to get away. If all your guests have already had to spend so much money joining you on a destination wedding, then it makes sense for them to make it into a vacation. For some people they may well have chosen to go to your destination wedding instead of their planned holiday that year.

Literally change your plans without telling them, then
