I'd be annoyed
I'd feel like I was being upstaged.
You're going to the trouble of having your wedding the way you want to have it because it's a very important day for you. Yet your siblings do seem to be making theirs a day out during their holiday rather like a trip to a theme park.
Yes, everyone's idea of an ideal wedding is different but still...I'd feel pissed off that I'd taken time and effort over this life event and a great deal of thought too. They meanwhile appear to have thought this is a crazy kind of thing to do, like a bungee jump.

I can understand your feeling that they've somehow degraded it.


All that said...it is only one day and the important thing is your marriage afterwards.

And weddings are notoriously stressful and while running off to Vegas might be a good idea - I really don't think it's that you're angry about, rather you're cross about their attitude to something you feel very deeply about.
I think you're right to feel cross...but equally if that's what they want to do, it's their choice and not necessarily a 'bad' choice at that, just different.

Sorry, I've rumbled on a bit there.

I know
As I said, I wouldn't mind so much if it was a decision they've made because they want to marry but can't afford or be bothered with all the preparations. The fact that they are doing it as a game is what makes me feel so bad. My sister wants to go as Princess Leia, and her boyfriend as Han Solo. And they're even taking their dog with them, dressed as Yoda.
