Destination wedding
Knight in shiny armour rides off into the sunset with his lovely princess- that’s the feeling I get at weddings. It’s always amazing being a part of such a beautiful experience.
Over the years, we have evolved from having wedding ceremonies in halls and marquee tents to having destination wedding ceremonies in breathtaking locations.
A destination wedding is simply a wedding away from your hometown or place of residence. It could be another state in your country or in a completely different country, it all depends on the couple. Initially this was a foreign concept but now more couples are intentional about creating unforgettable wedding memories with their loved ones.
Not only are destination weddings cool, it can also be a way to relieve yourself of the stress of planning a regular weding. You can have every detail of your wedding planned out for you when you pay for the location. All you need to do is show up for your rehearsal dinner and wedding.
With destination weddings there are few things to consider like if you love to travel, how large your guest list is and if they can all afford to pay for the trip, the marriage requirements of your dream location etc
