I was sick of spending my travel budget on weddings, so now I turn every invitation into a vacation

I've received lots of wedding invitations over the past few years.
Many of the weddings I've been invited to have required me to travel.
Now, I like to turn every wedding invitation into a mini vacation.

I don't know whether the influx of wedding invites I've received is a byproduct of the many celebrations that got delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic or a rite of passage for anyone approaching their late 20s.
