Haysoontobesmith, 22 November, 2009 at 17:11 Posted on Planning 0 20

I got engaged yesterday! yey and we have already decided to get married abroad. We now just need to decide where. Any suggestions? We would like somewhere hot, beautiful scenery and somewhere that has the wow factor. Also the ceremony which is obviously the best bit! needs to be perfect.

    Congrats on getting engaged :-) welcome to hitched.

    Have you thought how many people you want to come to the wedding? We went to a lovely wedding in cyprus in May and about 30 people flew out from the UK, but if it was somewhere more exotic i guess less people would have been able to come.

    Hi and welcome to hitched. Congratulations on your recent engagement.

    As from your post i'm guessing that you're looking for a wedding abroad?! (You said you wanted somewhere hot so i'm taking it hot as in sunny!) I'm getting married on the blue lagoon in Olu Deniz in Turkey. We're having 30-40 people come out their with us. We chose Turkey as that is where I met my partner and because it is reasonably priced for our family and friends to come out and share our day with us. My first bit of advise to to set a realistic budget so you know what dreams are a possibility.

    Congratulations! ?

    As has been mentioned, I guess a factor to location could be based on if you want guests to come. If so, you may need to take into consideration cost to get the most people there. Greece & Cyprus and Italy are lovely places for a wedding.

    You also need to think about where you want to get married, a beach? gardens? building? The Mediiterranean has lots of choice for places other than a beach wedding.

    If you want something more exotic, Barbados would be one of my choices. Caribbean, Seychelles, Mauritus, Sri Lanka...

    For something different, was about the US - New York? Or Australia?

    Is there anywhere you've always wanted to go? Remember if you're marrying abroad, it generally doubles as your honeymoon. Or if you want to do a twin centre, where can you get to from your destination?

    Congrats and welcome to Hitched! We were originally thinking of getting married abroad in New Zealand with only a handful of guests before my sister fell pregnant and we decided we'd stay in the UK after all cos it's important to us that she is there. Still going there on honeymoon though - not too sure how hot it gets but it's definitely got the wow factor scenery, I suppose it just depends if you're having guests and whether you want to drag them halfway around the world!

    Congratulations and welcome!

    if you really want the wow factor, somewhere like the Maldives or the Dominican Republic or Cuba do beautiful beach weddings. Many resorts do really good wedding packages with a ceremony on the beach etc...

    Congratulations

    We are getting married at the El Dorado Royale Mexico. We went on Holiday to Mexico last year and just fell in love with the place. Its Beautiful.

    I was talking to someone at my gym last week though and she is thinking about South Africa which i also thought would be amazing.

    The only place abroad that anyone I know has got married wads Mexico. i didn't go as I couldn't afford the flight at the time, but the the poctures were lovely and everyone said how beautiful it was. It was in a little 'palace'.

    But, it's a very long way to expect your guests to travel and very expensive too.

    I think Cyprus looks beautiful.

    Hello,

    Congratulations! I bet you are over the moon. Enjoy.

    Have you thought about Italy in the Summer - Lake Garda is beautiful.

    Congrats again.

    We were at alovely wedding in Italy in september. Search for villa catureglio. its lovely. even better than in the pics. And as everyone gets a holiday out of it as well people should be willing to contribute. Helps with the budget!

    When are they getting married? I'm getting married there too! £1000 seems too cheap to me. Are all the legal stuff included in the price? and transport to the embassy? (I know that those things alone was costing about £1000. I have a wedding twin in law! ?
