Beach wedding ceremony: What means more to you and your fiancé, the location or the people who will be able to attend? Some couples feel that all that matters is that they are together, while others can't imagine the ceremony without their parents, siblings, and best friends.

As you decide on a location, you may be considering a Destination Wedding. Once considered a splurge for the wealthy, destination weddings are quickly becoming more popular and mainstream for several reasons. First and foremost, they are virtually stress-free. You show up a day or two before to fill out the legal paperwork, get married, have a great party, and then have a fabulous honeymoon without traveling any further! There is real appeal in getting to spend that much vacation-time with your closest friends and family, too, since at a traditional wedding and reception, the bride and groom often feel they were in a whirlwind and didn't get to visit with those dearest to them.

Destination weddings can also be much more affordable than a traditional wedding. Often times, a couple can fly to an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica, get married, and stay for a four-star week long honeymoon for just a few thousand dollars. Yes, this includes airfare, lodging, meals, and drinks! Compare that to an average traditional wedding, which can cost anywhere from $22,000 to even $100,000 in large cities, and then the couple pays for their honeymoon on top of that! Starting their new life together with a fantastic vacation and money in the bank has real appeal for many couples!
