Gone are the days when everyone had a cliche wedding and one wedding was the same as the next; wedding destinations have grown in number and variety, and young couples are increasingly adventurous in choosing where and how they want to get married.
If you can afford it, a trip to a tropical island could make for a memorable wedding experience. What better way to kick off a life of bliss together than to exchange vows on the white sand of a spotless exotic beach?
There are even some people out there who are wild enough to want to get married under water, 30,000 feet above sea level or in simulated zero gravity conditions. To each their own, I say.
Ultimately, these wedding destinations prove that whatever your budget or taste, you can certainly find an interesting and memorable place for your wedding.
