Destination Wedding Planning

Posts Tagged ‘fly’

I read online some where that to have the perfect wedding, imagine perfect scenario in your head then try to recreate that. I’ve also heard that one is supposed to "be true" to yourself and your wedding.

The problem with these suggestions are that I have multiple ideas that I would be happy with.

Idea 1 — married in a flower field. I would love to have either an aqua trimmed dress or a pink trimmed dress. Very simple and pretty and romantic. This would cause the least trouble, and I would enjoy it just as much as my other themes.

Idea 2 — Married on a beach. Mine and my b/fs relationship have had a lot of water and beach motifs so I figured it’d be nice to go to the beach. However, we live inland, so this would be a destination wedding. That causes trouble with the families. My Aunt would throw a fly because she would say I picked the location so she couldn’t come, among other inconveniences. Plus, i have no idea where to start in a destination wedding.
Idea 3 — Rocker wedding. I’ve always been a bit of a punk rocker and it’s always been a dream of mine to live a little on the wild side, even if it is for just one night. I can see some winged eyeliner and a crazy dress.

Can someone help me sort out these very different ideas?

Thanks!

My boyfriend is about to propose, (we’re not into surprises, although I don’t know where or how it will happen, I know it will soon), and brought up the idea of a destination wedding to his family. I did not want him to bring it up until we were officially engaged, but he did anyway. I wanted to wait until I had all my facts, costs and reasons ready to present to both families before anyone had a cow over it. I have been doing research on these types of weddings, and find that my heart is set on one. My BF was on the same page, until talking to his family who are giving him all the reasons why we shouldn’t do a DW. They’ve convinced him that great friends, family and others won’t come due to costs and reminded him that we’ve put in a lot of money for their weddings on gifts, etc. Me being a budget friendly lady myself, I am only researching islands and resorts that are not expensive to fly to, and are reasonably priced for guests. I even talked to reps at these places who said when we are ready, we can talk about packages that could be even more reasonable. The idea of having the "same old type of wedding" at home makes me sick. I’ve always loved the islands and the idea of being married on a beautiful beach. I don’t care about getting gifts, or money. I just want to marry the man I love in the most romantic place on Earth. Advice?
BTW-I plan weddings myself so I’m aware of residency rules the islands have, peak time cost, all the red tape, etc. Thanks!

So my friend is planning a small destination wedding in Mexico for December. At first I was excited but now after I hear the wedding plans she disgusts me. The place she is having it at is 0 a night. I can’t afford that. The groom’s parents are paying for them but they are not even invited. She thinks they are trying to "weasel" themselves in. They are not inviting parents because her parents can’t afford it. Since they are saving so much money I asked why didn’t they help them out and she said because she needed to get a personal trainer and she wants a brand new car. I think her priorities suck! So now she tells me that because I’m staying in at a different hotel I need to pay 0 to get onto the hotel property for the wedding. So on top of the airfare, room, food, the maid of honor dress, shoes, etc she expects me to shell out more money. This is my first destination wedding…are these normal requests to ask of someone and not help out at all. At least pay for your
guests to attend your wedding. She is saving 40k she could at least be thankful to the people who are willing to attend and take on that huge expenditure themselves
I don’t expect them to pay for me to fly out or the hotel…I just think I shouldn’t have to pay to get onto their overly expensive wedding site. She could’ve picked a hotel that her friends could pay for
