Why weddings abroad are more popular than ever
09 Apr 2009
Planning your wedding is probably one of the most important, and the most stressful, things you will have to ever do. Your wedding day is the biggest day of your life and it’s only natural that you want everything to be perfect. But there’s just so much to think about, and too often it ends up becoming less about the actual day than the amount of money involved in achieving that perfection. No one wants money to get in the way of their big day, but it’s not unusual for weddings in the UK to cost upwards of £20,000, a huge financial commitment especially during a recession when times are hard. And that’s just the wedding, without even considering honeymoon costs.
But there is another option, more and more couples are choosing to cut their losses and travel abroad not just for honeymoons but for the actual wedding as well. Weddings abroad are a relatively new trend but are catching on fast which is not really all that surprising considering the average cost is less than a quarter of what you would pay in the UK. And if you really think about it, it really does make sense. Not only does it make the wedding cheaper, but there is literally a whole world of choice to make your wedding the most perfect day for you, wherever and however you want to do it.
A destination wedding could be the answer to all your worries if you’re struggling with the credit crunch at the moment. You get to combine your dream wedding with your perfect honeymoon in any location you choose – it’s the perfect romantic holiday and unlike with UK weddings, you’re even almost completely guaranteed good weather on the day! Yes, you might have to compromise a little on numbers and guests, after all not everyone can afford luxury European, African or Caribbean holidays at the moment and a lot of guests won’t be able to make it, but as long as those closest to you are there surely it’s worth the compromise? And of course you can always throw a big party to celebrate when you get home. When it comes down to it, it’s your big day and your choice – so why not do something different, stand out from the crowd and make your day as perfect as it can be.
