Destination Wedding Planning

My boyfriend’s old college roommate is getting married next month.

It’s a destination wedding, and the dress code is "evening formal"

So.. My boyfriend and I are buying formal clothes ( The bride sent xeroxes of what was acceptable.)

we bought our tickets ( $ 1,600.00 ) and we booked our hotel. ( 0.00 ) And we will be paying for taxis and meals too.

We have already spent SO MUCH money,My BF is in Grad school so money is tight but we have to go. ( My fella is really close to this his friend.)

The bride emailed me and asked us to get into the country a few days earlier than planned.

How can I tell her nicely that we can’t afford much more.

Also, the wedding registry is very expensive! They registered at Tiffany’s and nieman marcus.

I told my BF maybe we could get them something romantic and sweet? like, Cinderella Champagne glasses? or, monogrammed bathrobes? Mr and MRS… ( their last name)

I’ve never been to a wedding before much less a fancy destination wedding.

What is the polite thing to do?

My boyfriend is about to propose, (we’re not into surprises, although I don’t know where or how it will happen, I know it will soon), and brought up the idea of a destination wedding to his family. I did not want him to bring it up until we were officially engaged, but he did anyway. I wanted to wait until I had all my facts, costs and reasons ready to present to both families before anyone had a cow over it. I have been doing research on these types of weddings, and find that my heart is set on one. My BF was on the same page, until talking to his family who are giving him all the reasons why we shouldn’t do a DW. They’ve convinced him that great friends, family and others won’t come due to costs and reminded him that we’ve put in a lot of money for their weddings on gifts, etc. Me being a budget friendly lady myself, I am only researching islands and resorts that are not expensive to fly to, and are reasonably priced for guests. I even talked to reps at these places who said when we are ready, we can talk about packages that could be even more reasonable. The idea of having the "same old type of wedding" at home makes me sick. I’ve always loved the islands and the idea of being married on a beautiful beach. I don’t care about getting gifts, or money. I just want to marry the man I love in the most romantic place on Earth. Advice?
BTW-I plan weddings myself so I’m aware of residency rules the islands have, peak time cost, all the red tape, etc. Thanks!
