Wedding
Locations: where will you walk down the isle? by Andrew Regan
So you've met
the man or woman of your dreams and you've decided to make the ultimate
commitment; but how will you choose the perfect location for your special day?
You want your wedding day to be as memorable as possible - after all, it's a
once in a lifetime occurrence (or at least you hope it is!). But with so many
places and styles of wedding to choose from, it's difficult to know where to
start.
The traditional church wedding is still the most popular way of tying the knot,
and with good reason. Walking down the isle in a beautiful old church, with the
organ filling the airwaves and the church bells ringing is the archetypal
wedding that many have dreamed of from an early age. Add plenty of confetti and
a classic car to whisk you away after the ceremony and you've got a recipe for
the perfect day.

However, if you find the idea of a church wedding a little too traditional and
you're looking for something a bit more unusual then why not choose an exotic
wedding? More and more couples are now saying their vows in all manner of
bizarre locations - from snowy mountain tops with skis attached to their feet,
to underwater coral gardens, whilst dressed in scuba gear.

If that's a little over the top for your taste, how about getting married abroad
in a place you both love? Some couples choose to combine their marriage with
their honeymoon and get hitched in exotic locations such as Jamaica, Thailand or
Les Vegas; and surprisingly, these types of weddings can actually be cheaper
than a traditional British wedding.
If you don't want to spend a large amount of cash on a single day, which could
otherwise be spent on perhaps more needy causes, then consider a marquee
wedding. In a backlash against overindulgent and extremely extravagant weddings,
many couples are choosing more modest gatherings. By erecting a marquee in the
back garden and offering simple but delicious buffet food, your wedding can be
low-cost - but meaningful and fun at the same time.

But, for some couples, nothing but the best is good enough for the big day - and
why not? Your wedding is a public display of your love for each other and you
want to make sure it's absolutely perfect. However, if you choose to hold this
type of wedding, it's a good idea to get sufficient help in arranging it. Many
hotels for example, offer luxury
wedding planning
services, which can be tailored to fit your every whim and desire. From intimate
gatherings to glittering galas, specially trained wedding staff will be
available to ensure that the event runs smoothly, leaving you and your guests to
enjoy the proceedings in the most luxurious of surroundings.
Weddings can be stressful, but with some forward planning you'll be able to find
the wedding location that is perfect for you and your partner.
