The idea of a destination wedding

The idea of going somewhere for the wedding is truly exciting mainly because everyone can throw themselves completely into the excitement and celebration. 

Destination weddings are intimate personal affairs. And it goes with the theory that those who really love you will travel for you. The guest list is often considerably smaller. Destination weddings may make sense for families with members spread across the world. After all, if guests have to travel to join the celebrations, then it should be probably be in a place where everyone can have a good vacation without worrying about the fuss of planning and coordination.
