\"beachfront

Couples are abandoning the traditional large family, church wedding for exotic, vacation-style nuptials. Destination weddings<\/a> have become increasingly popular for couples of all types due to their appeal and fun nature. In some cases, the large budget of a traditional wedding is more than they can take on, making a smaller destination wedding a more attractive choice. They combine the wedding, ceremony and honeymoon in one, making it an all-over smart decision. It combines the fun of a sunny vacation with the sweetness of a ceremony.<\/p>\n

Caribbean<\/h3>\n

The Caribbean is a top destination for its picturesque white-sand beaches and mystical tropical rainforests. A Belize wedding ensures guests the opportunity to scuba dive among the diverse marine life in the second-largest barrier reef in the world. Forty percent of the reef is protected, according to mywedding.com, so it feels untouched by the outside world. Peaceful, serene, tropical, romantic, what more could you ask of a wedding?<\/p>\n

I’ve also noticed a trend in wedding Caribbean cruises<\/a>, and it’s easy to see why. With wedding, vacation, family gathering and honeymoon all rolled into one, it makes the perfect wedding story.<\/p>\n
