QUESTION: What's The Big Deal About Destination Weddings?

If you're a newly engaged, and in the first throes of wedding planning, you're probably coming upon the term "destination wedding," "far-away wedding," or "weekend wedding" in everything you read.

Is this yet another gimmick the wedding loonies made up to vex hapless couples? No, in fact, this idea makes sense. While the term sounds, admittedly, like "wed-speak," the realities of contemporary couples, who are well-traveled or whose friends and family are separated by great distances, have made these weddings increasingly popular.

3 Types of Destination Weddings:

•  You and your beloved have relocated far from your roots, have many good friends where you both have landed, and want to stay put for your wedding.

•  You and your fiance drag your friends and business associates to where one or both of you are from.

• You pick an entirely new, different, and fascinating location to hold your celebration and invite guests to join you there (and where you will be honeymooning afterward).

All three scenarios have lots in common. Whenever you're expecting gobs of people from "everywhere" -- and most likely for at least a three-day weekend and hospitality. Proper planning can make a destination wedding memorable and unique.
