While having a destination weddings feels like a dream come true for every bride-to-be, the reality is it might not be the best choice for everyone. Here are some questions to ask yourself to find out if an overseas wedding is the right choice for your special day.
(1) Is it okay with you if not all of your family and friends can make it?
Some people will not be able to fly out for your wedding. The truth is that going abroad might not be feasible for many of your guests. You should be aware and ready for this.
