An abundant island, Jamaica has beaches, waterfalls and mountains to explore. There are so many all inclusive holiday deals here than anywhere else in the Caribbean and so it is no wonder that its such a popular place to go with couples wanting a wedding abroad followed by a beach honeymoon

The Dominican Republic has not only fine boutique hotels and competitive all inclusive holiday bargains.

Off the coast of Florida lies the beautiful Bahamas, offering couples everything from excitement to total relaxation, depending on whether they go for developed Nassau, Freeport, Paradise and Grand Bahama Island or one of the lower key Out Islands.

What are the Pros and Cons of getting married abroad?

Monday, September 7th, 2009

This is a hard topic to really get our heads around.Everybody imagines what thier wedding is going to be like, and we all have different scenarios. Not everyone is going to want to go overseas to get married abroad, but in the current economic climate, might it actually be cheaper and better to do so.

 

Lets have a look at some of the Pros ofweddings abroad.If your thinking about going somehwere tropical then there are some big thumbs up straight away.For starters the clouds aren’t likely to threaten your wedding, you can remain confident that the sun will be beaming down on you. Also and somehwhat strangley it appears that going abroad to get married could actually be cheaper than having your wedding at home. Getting married at home has so much cost attached to it now that it may be considered a good idea to spend the same amount of money or maybe a little less on going to a luxury location and enjoying your wedding there.

 

Obviously the best part about it is that you can start your honeymoon straight away, no extra flights because youre already in the perfect location to have a great time. Why get married at home when you can have aluxury holidayfor your wedding.

 

Now we cant just look at the good parts about this, unfortunately there are some Cons. The first and probably the most important is that you might find that not all of the people you invite will be able to make it, getting the time off work or for them to get to the desired location will make it hard for some to do so.One problem that might arise is that some locations have a minimum residency policy.What this means is that you need to take up residence in the location where you are going to get married for some time. The upside of this is you get an extended holiday.

 

One more problem you might find is that the wedding you have abroad might not be recognised by the church at home, but if you dont mind having a civil ceremony followed by a blessing when you get back you can overcome this pretty easily.

 

So what is the best decision? Church weddings just happen to be what some people want, and you have some people that just want to go away and have a different type of wedding, all in all it just matters what’s important to you. What is it that you would like to do on your special day, aCaribbean holidayin the place of your dreams, or at the church where you know you will have all of your family and friends to be with you?
