When my husband and I decided to get married a year ago, we agreed we wanted to have a unique wedding that will not break the bank. For us, buying our first home was more important than getting into debt for our wedding.

Many of our friends spent $ 15,000- $ 25,000 for their wedding, and they were paying for it years after the wedding. In fact, some debts survived wedding marriage!

So we decided to have a destination wedding in Jamaica. We discovered that destination weddings are becoming increasingly popular for several reasons once: They are less expensive, are more fun and easier to plan. In fact, 25% of all marriages are held outside the United States.

Destination weddings cost on average $ 1,000 to $ 6,000, which is much less expensive than traditional weddings. In addition, the newlyweds can honeymoon after marriage and having a great time. They are also more fun.

Your family and friends will also have the opportunity to vacation during their weekend wedding. Couples can create a theme of "wedding weekend" which includes entertainment and attractions to visit.

The most important reason to have a destination wedding is the ease of wedding planning. Stations hire wedding consultants to do most of the work, so couples do not have to spend time worrying about hiring a minister, choice of plates, coordinating a reception, and other time-consuming tasks that go along with wedding planning.
