It sounds like a fairytale wedding doesnt it. Jetting off to some exotic country, escaping the worries of life back home and marrying the person you love. Thousands of people get married in another country every year and most have a great time doing it. You can’t just book your hotel and get someone to feed the cat whilst you’re away though, there are lots of points to consider first. Here are the three things that should be top of your organisational list.
Cost. Wedding are always going to be an expensive thing to do, but weddings abroad are often in a whole league of their own. Transportation aside, doing simply things like sorting catering and places to stay for everyone seems to frequently cost more when doing it all in another country. You may not be putting people up in a castle hotel, but costs still add up. If you haven’t got the money to have your wedding in another country, you should spend some time saving up first, rather than put it on credit cards. That way you you’re not worrying about money on your big day and you save yourself debts.
Family. One of the most important things to take into consideration when planning your wedding is family. Individuals are often left having to pay for their own travel costs as the wedding couple rarely have the money to pay for everyone. Depending on where the wedding is, that could be very expensive and some people may not be able to travel for medical reasons. You should consider just how practical it is for everyone before you announce your grand idea to shoot off somewhere nice for the big day.
Laws. It is very easy to forget that laws vary in every country of the world and when you are on their turf you play by their rules. In your home country it might be fine to get married in bars, fields or castle wedding venues, but abroad you might find that the wedding is only legal if it takes place in a church or similar. Additionally, depending on what faith you are, it might be very difficult to get the right official to conduct the ceremony in your country of choice.
