Roll Your Wedding And Honeymoon Into One: Marrying Abroad

Written by MichaelZ on January 28, 2011 – 1:49 am -

The ever mischievous father of a close friend once told her that he’d happily cough up £20,000 if she was willing to simply elope and marry her then boyfriend in Vegas. His point was doubtlessly about the hassle of the wedding, but it remains pertinent. Families perhaps put a lot of undue emphasis on the organisation of the big day, writing speeches, organising dresses and so forth, but these things are mostly unavoidable and ultimately, wanted. But the cost of the event is something that doesn’t have to be accepted so readily. Weddings abroad are proving ever more successful as the years go by. £20,000 is a typical sum for a wedding in the UK and this sum keeps rising.

Savings can be made in several ways, logistically and in terms of cost. You’re flying out for the wedding, so it makes sense to stay for the honeymoon. One of the biggest complications with marrying abroad is having a ceremony that allows your family to attend. So long as you plan your wedding well in advance, you can convince your family to holiday with you, thus avoiding hurt feelings and the usual headache of distant relatives convinced they ought to be invited. You can of course pay for your guests to attend, though this can quickly contradict the cost imperative: still, some locations do offer guest accommodation in your wedding package. There is however, no real perfect solution, and you will inevitably have to choose between your dream wedding location and missing out on having someone close at your wedding.

If you’re planning to elope for real or you just simply want to cut down on the amount of forms you have to fill in to cement an abstract but important commitment, Caribbean holidays have very little paperwork and no residency requirements. Las Vegas is the old standby of course, but Hawaii, Malta and Cyprus are also good locations. The continental tropics also offer a truly memorable experience, without the confinement of the island getaway. Thailand holidays have seen increasing popularity as a destination for both standard tropical holidays and weddings. You’ll be able to have either a western influenced ceremony, or a more eastern inspired one. The premier wedding location in Thailand is currently Koh Pha Ngan island, which is only 30 miles from mainland Thailand.
