The current "buzz" in honeymoon planning is the destination wedding. Simply put, the destination becomes the wedding chapel, honeymoon site and vacation for the bride and groom and all invited guests.

A destination wedding is more of a concept than a location. For example, if you and your fianc:%$eacute;e love the Wild West, you could plan a wedding at a dude ranch. How about being married surrounded by undersea wildlife at a large aquarium$%: Or standing on lava created by Pele in Hawaii$%:

If the "traditional" wedding doesn't appeal to you - the "been there / done that" of the church and reception, then a destination wedding might be right for you.

One model:

If you have a destination wedding, who will you invite$%: Can your family, friends and loved ones afford to travel to the destination you choose$%: Will you pick up the costs for their travel and accommodations$%:

Are you willing to "run into" your friends, family and loved ones during your honeymoon$%: If you are all at the same location, you will end up seeing them. Do you want to share your honeymoon time$%: If you do choose to share your honeymoon time, be prepared to set expectation levels with your guests. For example, will you have dinner with them one night - but expect them to leave you alone the rest of the time$%: Or will your guests expect you to spend the majority of the time together$%: Neither way is bad - but it should be candidly discussed beforehand. You do not want any hurt feelings over your honeymoon - including your own!

Consider your guest's preferences as well as your own. You'd love to have a lavish destination wedding in the Bahamas - but your mother is allergic to the sun. Is this a good choice$%: Remember, when you return home any problems you had with the destination will return with you.

Destination weddings can be comparable in costs to a traditional wedding. In fact, they can be more affordable. Because attendance is generally smaller, you can devote your budget to travel and lodging instead of church and reception. Many resorts will create packages for your destination wedding to include the license, minister, flowers and reception. And, because you have multiple people in your party, you may end up with discounts on packages.

Destination weddings can be very unique and special. Destination weddings are a definite change from the traditional wedding that will live on in you and your guest's minds for a very long time.

Before you plan your destination wedding, be sure to make a list of all the pros and cons. Then contact your travel agent for expert assistance.
