What could be more romantic than getting married on a beach, under the sun, to the person you love? Sure it is wonderful to be surrounded by hundreds of friends and family members, but it is also extremely expensive, enormously hectic and ultimately can end up being more of a burden than a pleasure. Destination weddings are the perfect compromise. You get your honeymoon and wedding in one, and can invite your nearest and dearest to come join you.
Some ideal places to escape to are:
