The Wedding

I for one have been won over by the idea of getting married on foreign shores, although we organised everything ourselves (I am not the sort of guy who would employ a 'wedding planner'!), it actually is less hard work than organising a wedding at home in my opinion (plus it was a lot cheaper!).

Of course, this has been an increasing trend over recent decades and has led to a whole new wedding couture including the idea of destination wedding dresses specifically suited to getting married on exotic shores in higher than 'normal' temperatures.

Naturally, the traditional heavy dress with train and veil may not be ideal for tripping along the beach in the Caribbean... equally it is now not uncommon to have the groom dressed in Bermuda shorts (even if the formal top-half is retained as is so often the case).
