Destination Wedding | 4 Reasons to Travel Abroad for Your Wedding
Naturally, the desired endgame for those who are dating online would have to be seeing each other in person and ultimately tying the knot. At least, that’s what’s expected from online relationships. Of course, the important part is the marriage that comes after, but the wedding ceremony itself holds a special place in the hearts of many people.
While most couples choose to exchange I do’s in their local church or other wedding venues in their locale, others choose to travel abroad. Holding your wedding overseas adds an international flair to this once in a lifetime event.
As if the idea of flying to a different country isn’t already exciting enough, doing so to marry the woman of your dreams can make your trip even more exciting and memorable. It’s definitely one of the most convincing reasons to travel abroad.
But while a destination wedding may have its own appeal, there are also a few drawbacks. Weddings are stressful enough to plan, but setting it in a different country can add a whole new layer of logistical planning to the equation.
But despite all the potential pitfalls of an international wedding, the benefits and advantages still far outweigh the risks. Here are some of the reasons why:
-
It’s Inevitable
A lot of international couples come together with the help of matchmakers and those same matchmakers will generally have some travel abroad programs for adults to allow two people to meet each other.
If there’s a long distance relationship involved, any ceremony is going be a destination wedding, at least for one half of the couple. If the groom comes to the bride’s country to get married, then it’s a destination wedding for his party and vice-versa.
So, if there’s to be a wedding between two people from different countries, then there’s going to be a destination wedding. There’s just no other way around it. -
It’s Fun
People generally like weddings and international travel. As such, combining both experiences in one meaningful occasion adds up to a fun event for everyone involved.
Then there’s generally the locale itself. Picking a sunny place with warm waters will give guests an excuse to enjoy the sunshine and wade into the water. Essentially, guests get to have a short vacation while also seeing the person that they care about get married to someone that they love. -
The Locale
While the honeymoon is generally the part where newly-weds travel and go on vacation, there’s no rule that says they can’t do a bit of traveling before that point. Booking a destination wedding can give you an excuse to fly off somewhere nice, beautiful and serene. Sure, there will be a fair bit of wedding planning involved, but you’ll also be making so many wonderful memories with your bride. -
The Food
While the main event of a wedding is the ceremony itself where the couple gets to finally exchange I do’s, no wedding will ever be complete without the reception. It’s where the newly-wed and all the guests get together to celebrate such a momentous occasion. Naturally, any get together also involves food.
So if you want to deviate from the conventional wedding reception menus, having your wedding overseas might just do the trick. There are so many countries, especially in Latin America and Asia, with amazing culinary heritage but not a lot of people know about. It’s almost a guarantee that if you hold your wedding in a different country, you and your guests will be indulged with a unique gastronomic experience.
Destination weddings may not appeal to everyone, but they might be a necessity in some cases. But while destination weddings have their detractors, they also have their supporters and they have their own benefits. They offer either the bride, groom, or even both the chance to start their lives together somewhere new. Ultimately, it’ll be up to the bride and the groom. But the option to start their lives together somewhere exotic and to travel abroad is always there.
