If you are recently engaged then first things first, “Congratulations”! This is an exciting time in your life and a day many women have dreamed of since being just a little girl. The dress, the cake, the venue.
You want all of them to be just perfect. And then the planning starts, and you realise the whole day is quickly escalating into an expensive nightmare where you seem to be pleasing everyone but yourself and your husband to be.
Many brides-to-be are now increasingly turning their attention to tying the knot overseas. A beach wedding on a tropical shoreline offers the chance to escape with just close friends and family (and in many cases just the bride and groom) and experience a wedding of luxurious proportions, all at a fraction of the cost of a typical wedding at home.
If you want to marry in real luxury, then the Caribbean offers some beautiful islands, and the chances are you will be spoilt for choice. Consider Cuba, for example, with its soft white beaches, near-perfect climate and a vibrant capital city with an extraordinary history, it is a dream destination that will provide you with a wonderful wedding and honeymoon. Others favour hot-spots like the Dominican Republic and Jamaica simply because of the luxurious hotel retreats on offer.
When planning a wedding, you need to remember that this is your big day. You should not do anything simply to please others. And you will find that many of your close friends and family will jump at the chance to travel with you. Just make sure they leave you at peace to enjoy your honeymoon.
The disadvantages of getting married abroad, some friends and family basically couldn’t attend, and their absence may be felt. The cost to your visitors is more to attend your wedding abroad, and you should be aware of this. A few visitors may feel somewhat angry about this fact.
