DESTINATION WEDDINGS (1)

Unique weddings for couples looking for something different

Before a bide and groom tie the knot, they have numerous decisions to make. In the past, traditional weddings in a church or civil ceremonies at a court were usually the only options. But these days, some couples are choosing something more exciting - destination weddings. For a destination wedding, the couple travels to a unique location, often with friends and family, and everyone celebrates there. Where do they go? Take a look!

A fantasy wedding
For the bride who has always wanted a Cinderella-type wedding, Disneyworld is the perfect venue. The bride can choose to arrive in a horse-drawn carriage, with a trumpet to announce her arrival. The couple can then exchange vows in front of Disney's famous Cinderella Castle.

A historic wedding
Scotland has the very best picturesque and historic wedding destinations. Comlongon Castle in southwest Scotland is a 15th century medieval castle. The groom and guests are escorted by a bagpiper into the 600-year-old Great Hall which is lit only by candles and a roaring fire. The bride follows, and in a truly romantic setting in front of an enormous fireplace, the couple becomes husband and wife.
