Everyone here loves to travel, but would you have a destination wedding instead of a traditional one?
Destination weddings are often more exotic, more romantic, less expensive, and can be easily extended into a honeymoon vacation as well.
As much as you love to travel, would you choose to have a destination wedding instead of a traditional/conventional wedding? If so, where would it be? If no, why not?
Or have you had a destination wedding before? If you have, where was it?
Reply to this We will be getting married in Denmark. It is one of the least complicated places to get married and get an international marriage certificate. We have to stay there for a week before we can get married, so we will have the honeymoon before the wedding.
I dont really like traditional weddings. It would mean too much doing things to please family members and it would also be expensive. I would prefer to splash out our cash on the honeymoon. My boyfriend just walked by, so I asked him what he thinks. He said he would hate the hassle that goes with a traditional wedding.
Reply to this Congratulations! When will you be getting married?
I don't really like traditional weddings either. I'm a firm believer in having people I actually care about at my wedding. And there's probably under a hundred people in that category. At weddings with 300 guests, I always question how many of them do the bride and groom really know and genuinely invited. A wedding should be about the union of two people, not the union of families and random people you'll probably never see again.
I also plan on having a destination wedding :D Well not that I have a fiance or any plans to get married in the near future..But my "dream" wedding would be abroad somewhere. It works well that after my parents have had their own 300 guest wedding, they would never want to put me through that. Hopefully we'll be somewhere warm instead.
Reply to this Congratulations! When will you be getting married?
Thanks for the congratulations! 😊 I wish I knew when I was getting married. Paperwork in Germany is making everything complicated. We are both foreigners here. We are hoping it will be sorted by Christmas, and then we could get married in January or Feb.
A fiance will come along soon for you, I am sure. They seem to be always nearby, but one never knows exactly where. Do you ever wish you have a crystal ball to know exactly when soon and where is? I used to wish that, when I was single. 😊
About the wedding guests, it is difficult to invite some friends and family members but not others, so we are not inviting any at all.
I have been fantasizing about a snowy honeymoon for years. Originally I though we could get married in Germany and then have the honeymoon high in the Bavarian Alps, but where paperwork is concerned it is just about impossible for us to get married in Germany. There should be snow in Denmark in January and Feb though.
Hopefully we'll be somewhere warm instead.
The weather probably wont matter at all once the marriage cermony is over, because it is traditional to not get out of bed at all during the honeymoon. :D
Reply to this Sounds like you'll have a wonderful honeymoon. I hope for snowy romantic mornings and nights for you and your boyfriend/ husband-to-be!
Reply to this Never thought I would be one of those people who have a husband. In some ways I havent grown up, despite being 40. Having a husband seems so grown up. :D Makes me wonder when a person actually does start to feel like a grown up. Maybe it is the travelling that prevents me from getting to that stage. :D
Reply to this Probably is the traveling. Keeps you young and energetic. But I'm sure you and your husband will continue to embark on adventures around the world, keeping each other youthful as well : ). Married life is like the start to a new phase in life; I'm sure you're looking forward to it. A little apprehensive maybe...

We surely will, as long as we live. 😊

I am not really apprehensive, because we have been considering ourselves married for years now, even though we dont have the piece of paper. We still pay single peoples tax, so I sure look forward to those married persons tax breaks. It will mean more travel money! :D
Reply to this Looks like I am not the only TravelBlog member with a snowy wedding fantasy. 😊
Reply to this I plan on doing a RTW with my boyfriend in about 2 years time. We decided to get married on the trip, probably somewhere like Fiji, I imagine its one of those places where its easy to get a licence plus its also idylic. By the time we start the trip we will have been together 5+ years. I think thats a good amount of time to know if you are 'made for each other' or not. Then the rest of the trip will be the honeymoon. And any family members that want to fork out for flight etc and want to join us for the wedding are welcome to.
Reply to this Wouldn't it be scary to be on a destination wedding specially if it is far away from your home? I mean you can't just keep going back and forth all the time right? I do watch this one show, destination weddings, and most of them almost always have issues before the wedding...
Reply to this I dont see why it would be any more scary, than at home Dexter. Yeah, some people experience doubts before the wedding, but I dont see how being at home would be better when this happens. It might actually be worse, because there would be the pressure of more wedding guests.
