Weddings abroad are the perfect way to combine the most special day of your life with the ultimate honeymoon.

Do you want your wedding to be a small, intimate event attended just by you, your intended, and the vicar's wife as a witness? Or, do you want a destination event for all your family and friends? Either way, you can make it a wonderful event that will be a memory to cherish forever.

But the first question you need to ask when you plan your distant wedding ceremony is, where will it be? It could be a little overwhelming. After all, there are hundreds of places in the world to choose from.

Why not try a beautiful tropical wedding in Barbados, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, or St. Lucia? Or perhaps a Mediterranean dream wedding in France, Spain, Greece, or Italy.

Perhaps if you and your beloved have a common ancestry, you could plan to have your wedding in the land of your forefathers. You can make it complete with the traditional garb and even a reception catered with all the native dishes.

Weddings abroad can also be fabulous in locations such as Eastern Europe (Croatia or the Czech Republic), Africa (a South African safari), Asia (Cambodia or Sri Lanka), South America (Brazil is another great place for a beach wedding), or New Zealand or Australia.

Once you settle on where you want to have your wedding, it's time to decide how simple or elaborate you want it to be. Fortunately, destination weddings are the forte of many a wedding planner. There are also companies that are all about helping people plan weddings in places listed above. Their help will be invaluable, since they can help you learn more about your chosen destination and help you find vendors for food and flowers. There are a lot of other things you need to be aware of too, such as legalities. You and your guests will need passports or visas, possible even vaccines.

If you plan on inviting all your friends and relatives to your wedding abroad, don't forget to plan a quick escape so you can enjoy a private honeymoon!
