Top Ten Reasons to Plan a Destination Wedding
You and the one you love are dreaming of an enchanted
getaway, to do nothing less than tie the knot. Why should anyone want to
go away, you say? Check out these reasons for taking a sandy route to
the altar with a destination wedding.
1. Nearly stress-free planning!
Getting married is quite a big step, so we don't ever
want to say any wedding is completely and totally stress free. But, not
having to worry about the seating chart, or who's going to be the best
man could take a lot of worry out of your Big Day.
2. Slim to none chance of inter-family fights
Especially if you invite them along. It's vacation
time for everyone!
3. It's usually cheaper
There are all-inclusive packages that feature both
your wedding and the honeymoon for $4,000 or $5,000, which is darn cheap
compared to the average of $20,000 + for a traditional wedding and
sit-down dinner reception.
4. Control!
An amazing relief if you've ever been part of a
traditional wedding with two families involved. All the factors are
completely and totally within your hands.
5. Second wedding heaven
Especially if you've already been there, done that
with a big wedding, second weddings are perfect for the relaxing getaway
to a beautiful locale. Don't forget to ask about activities for the
kids!
6. Your honeymoon begins immediately after the
ceremony
Now, that's not bad.
7. Pack light
You can choose your wedding clothes once you arrive in
your exotic location! Think snowsuits, island gowns, saris, and of
course, shorts.
8. Parental bliss
If they're coming, you will get to hear them say over
and over, "we've been wanting to take a vacation!"
9. Use your imagination
You can eat before the ceremony, or after. You could
have a cake, or not. You could jump in the ocean, or stay on the sand.
Endless opportunities.
10. Fun for those who attend
Think of what you're doing for them! A cruise, a ski
vacation, or a weekend on the beach - who wouldn't enjoy themselves?
