Reasons Destination Weddings Are The Popular Second Marriage Choice

More and more couples are exploring Destination Weddings for the second marriage, even if the first time around was a grand affair with lots of guests and extravagant ceremonies. As we get older, and wiser, most people prefer something more casual and relaxed.

One out of every three destination weddings is organized for second marriages. If you’re someone considering tying the knot once more, here are a few reasons why you should consider following the herd on this one…

No Stress Planning Experience

The responsibilities that fall upon your shoulders are fewer for a destination weddings than it would be for a traditional wedding. Especially if you end up hiring a Destination Wedding planning expert. Your biggest decision involves choosing a resort. After that, the decisions are minimal. Compare that to the stress and anxiety that you’ll inevitably endure with a local wedding. Please don’t get us wrong though. Choosing a destination wedding won’t magically make all your troubles disappear. Your wedding planner is the key piece of that puzzle.

Avoid Drama

Local weddings are notorious for sparking arguments between spouses and even their loved ones. Will the wedding be in one partner’s hometown, who to invite, or even who’s in charge… You shouldn’t have to deal with needless arguments regarding your special day. A destination wedding planner can help you settle everything by taking on the role of a neutral third party. Having served customers with a diverse range of backgrounds, we know how to handle tough decisions without stepping on anyone’s toes.

To be honest, we recommend resorts based on the needs of our couples. Some families want a smaller resort so they can all be together as much as possible. Some families/groups need the space that a large resort provides to ensure that everyone has the room to spread out.

The very best thing about the destination wedding is that everyone comes relaxed. They are all on vacation. Instead of dressing up in stiff rigid clothes, guests have the freedom to really enjoy themselves.

Endless possibilities

You’re already breaking traditions with a wedding so far away. So why stop there? Here are some fun ways to change up the old ways:

Walk down the aisle with both of your parents
Share the excitement of your wedding day by getting ready together
How about not walking in at all?

Just have some fun with it – the rules are way more flexible for destination weddings.

Destination Weddings are affordable

Traditional weddings usually cost upwards of $30,000. In fact, according to TheKnot, Americans spent an average of $33,391 on a wedding in 2018.

Your wedding doesn’t have to cost anywhere near that. All Inclusive Resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean have promotions offering everything ranging from a free stay and ceremony to complimentary private events. You can get an additional discount by booking your honeymoon at the same destination. How’s that for a bargain?

Bonding Experiences

Now that you are blending families and lives, what could be more important than bonding opportunities? Especially if either of you has kids from the previous marriage. Traditional local weddings, with all of their pomp and ceremonies, don’t leave much room for anything else. That includes the time you’d need for proper bonding. The laid back vacation setting of a destination wedding offers a fantastic opportunity for everyone to get to know each other at their own pace. Connections and memories form easily when we are all having fun!

The allure of destination weddings is strong, especially for second marriages . However, what sounds so promising can turn into a complete disaster without some support.
