get here? What is fair?
Rather than worrying about these issues, more brides and grooms have been opting for destination weddings. A destination wedding is one that is centered around getting married at a particular place that is not at the home of either bride or
groom, often a tropical or otherwise romantic location. This isn't a runaway marriage, like the ones that used to take place frequently at Niagara Falls and that still take place in Las Vegas; rather, it's a planned wedding with guests,
with the only difference between it and other weddings being the away-from-home location.
Popular places for destination weddings include Hawaii, the South Carolina beaches, Disneyworld, and, yes, Las Vegas. Brides not satisfied with these locations can consider some other, more unique ideas: getting married on a
yacht, Ireland, Fiji, the Bahamas, or weddings in locations that are important to the bride and groom for some reason. A destination wedding can be a very personal event.
