Destination Weddings Have Doubled in the Past Ten Years

Tuesday April 12, 2005
According to a new study by Bride's Magazine, the number of couples planning destination weddings has doubled over what it was ten years ago. This newfound popularity is fueled in part by the increase in affordable travel thanks to the internet, as well as couples discovering how easy it is to plan a destination wedding. Bride's says "72 % of destination vows happen in the United States while the most popular locations to marry are Hawaii, Mexico, and on Cruises. Some Up-and-comers include Greece, Scotland, Italy, Fiji, South Africa, Thailand, Belize, Costa Rica and Canada."
