| Planning a “Weddingmoon”
Saying “I Do” for a destination wedding is becoming more popular with many couples! Planning a destination wedding or “weddingmoon” can be rewarding and challenging at the same time. But believe it or not it is cheaper to have a destination wedding! So the question is, “Do you know where you want to celebrate the most important day in your life?” Do not fear, there are many companies that specialize in wedding and honeymoon destination planning. But you need to dig deep and do plenty of research before deciding where to go. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but planning it in another area can be twice the stress. There are many websites out there that will have information to help you with your research. Just make sure you do not base a decision on what the location looks like. Look at “every single thing that the area has to offer”. It may be that the location has no nightlife and you’re just in the middle of nowhere! Find a local travel agent that will be able to give you a better “insight” about your preferred location. Most travel agencies will help you plan everything from hotel and transportation, to activities around the area. You need to ask yourself if you want to be secluded or be able to do an assortment of activities. Also, do you want to have an extended trip or something short? So here are four things you need to keep in mind when looking at different destinations: Time, When, Where and Local Laws and Regulations. Lets focus on the rules and what makes a civil ceremony unique. There are Rules? Yes, there are certain rules when getting married in a foreign country. Rules and Regulations are very important when looking at planning a destination wedding. Here are some things you need to research before choosing a location. If the location will recognize your wedding being legal or is it a Civil Ceremony? Do you need to be a resident to get married there? Is there a waiting period? If so, how long? Do you need proof if you are divorced or widowed? Are blood tests required? Do you need documentation or paperwork from your church if you are having a religious ceremony? How can you make your Civil Ceremony unique? We have talked about bringing your personality into the location choice so lets do the same for the ceremony! There are different ways of adding to the ceremony to make your guests remember it forever! One of the many things you can do is to write your own vows. I have seen couples use vows from movie clips, plays, music lyrics and poems. Make sure whatever you choose reflects how you feel about your loved one. Themed settings such as Western and Hawaiian are being used to give that personal touch to weddings. Assigning other members of the wedding party or family to do the readings can make it very special. There are many different officials that will perform these ceremonies. Think outside the box and make this a one of a kind wedding your guest will be talking about for years to come. Whether you are planning a “weddingmoon” or creating a unique ceremony, there are many creative ideas you can use! Take the time to do in depth research. Don’t just jump in and make hasty decisions. And always remember to focus on what is important – the two of you sharing this special day together! Nadine Reeder Certified Wedding Consultant Themed Events www.themedevents.webs.com 972-805-7740 |
