What is a
Destination Wedding?
You may have
wondered what “destination wedding” means? After all, wherever you are, it is a
“destination” somewhere people are
going to or being sent to, so the church is a “destination”, isn’t it? Is this just me being pedantic?
These days a “destination
wedding” is a wedding and holiday combined and not just for the bride and groom
but for all the guests as well, it really is great fun. But for those who fancy
the literal meaning, I have rummaged around the Internet for the best version.
A destination wedding is one in which a
wedding is hosted, often in a vacation-like setting, at a location to which
most of the invited guests must travel and often stay for several days. This
could be a beach ceremony in the tropics, a lavish event in a metropolitan
resort, or a simple ceremony at the home of a geographically distant friend or
relative. During the recession of 2009, destination weddings continued to see
growth compared to traditional weddings, as the typically smaller size results
in lower costs.
