Congratulations on your engagement!
Love is precious and finding your soulmate is something truly wonderful.
There are many ways to celebrate your love for one another. Of course, you could have a traditional wedding that would make everyone around you happy but what would be the fun in that? If you were planning a gigantic wedding, inviting everyone you know, you would most likely not have found our website today.
While planning your wedding can be exhilarating in the best of ways, it can also be tremendously stressful at the same time.
How to avoid wedding stress and potential arguments with well-meaning relatives and future in-laws? Celebrate your special day in a different country.
We have put together a short list of eight reasons we believe getting married abroad is the way to go:
- A more intimate ceremony
We will let you in on a little secret: you do not have to invite every single person you know. Planning a destination wedding is the perfect excuse to only invite your closest friends and relatives who are nearest and dearest to you.
Is there a lovelier way of getting married than surrounded by a tight knit circle of family and friends?
- Budget
Statistically speaking, getting married abroad is less expensive than at home. Chances of you going over-budget are slim to none.
- Honouring your partner’s roots
If your partner comes from a different country getting married in their home town, or a different place dear to them, is a wonderful way of honouring their roots.
- Planning
Many hotels and resorts have their own wedding planning – and event management team. Especially, if you decide on a place that offers wedding packages.
- Combining your wedding day with your honeymoon
No need to book a separate honeymoon! Does it not sound wonderful to stay a little longer or visit an entirely different part of the country as a honeymoon?
- Weather
If you live in a place that is particularly famous for its bad weather then a destination wedding is the way to go if you want to ensure gorgeous photos!
- Special ceremony
Are you dreaming of a barefoot wedding on the beach with a gentle sea breeze in the background? Then now is the time to start planning! It is your day after all. Follow your dream.
- Ensuring your wedding is about you and no one else
Are you having a hard time telling well-meaning relatives and friends to stop interfering with your wedding planning? A brilliant way of putting a stop to this is planning an out-of-town wedding and stating that you are working with a local wedding planner.
Are you looking for a wedding officiant or a Reform Rabbi to marry you? Rabbi Andrea Frank would be delighted to hear more about your plans to see how she can help you make your wedding day one you will always remember.
You can get in touch with her via her website.
