It’s doesn’t necessarily cost more money to get married abroad nowadays, and when you start to look at wedding prices in your area, you may well think “I may as well go abroad at this rate”. The only downside with getting married abroad is it usually means a good number of guests won’t be able to make it. It’s difficult to ask 40 or 50 people to get a particular day off, and they may have to cancel their holiday, or they may not have the time to have several days off work.
That said, it’s not about your guests, it’s about you on your wedding day and if it’s going to make you and your life partner happy to get married abroad, then don’t let any put you off doing it. Some people dream of getting married in a traditional church, while other dream of getting married with sand between their toes. You get the final say, and you should never think twice about it if it’s in your heart to get married abroad.
