Hi Brides & Grooms, I guess you might be wondering if a destination wedding is for you?

I didn't think it was for me until my finance told me that he would only get married if it was a destination wedding. So I quickly jumped on board.

But think of it, nothing says luxury like a beach wedding on a tropical island. Your wedding will be a vacation for everyone! At my wedding it wasn't just me picking out the place I had many family members telling where to go and what they wanted.  Most of our disagreements were that everyone was telling me where they wanted to go but no one thought about what I wanted. But after many nights searching and researching we finally picked a place that we all loved. We changed about 3...4 times until we picked Riviera Maya Mexico. We picked one place and even booked the beach at the resort and just about booked the flights and at the last minute changed our minds. Our specialist Deb was great and did everything to make the change a smooth one. She was very understanding and worked hard to get what us what we wanted. I am glad that we decided on it. I have heard great things about the Iberostar.     

If you think that it would be more difficult, it's not. The only difficult part about it was picking which place to go and when to go. Believe me when I say that once you tell people that you are going away to get married they all become experts on where to go. The best thing to do is before you talk to people you and your finance should pick a place and research it. That way your decision will be based on what you read about it and not what other people say. Remember just because someone else loved or hated a place doesn't mean that you will feel the same way as them. Also trying to plan a wedding with everyone else being involved can cause many unnecessary fights between you and your fiance. Always talk things over with him/her before making any decisions, remember it's your wedding and it should be what the two of you decide on. My fiance wouldn't even let me pick out the bridesmaids dresses or the color without going over it with him first. The night before we went to the bridal shop to get the girls dresses Donny and I went on line and picked out the dresses we liked and in what color we liked them in. He says that he had a vision in his head of what the pictures should look like and wanted to make sure that the dresses would fit into his image that he had. I didn't mind because it actually helped me out a lot. When we were at the bridal shop the girls picked one of the dresses we liked but wanted to change the color of it, but all I had to do was call him and have him be the bad guy and say no he wants blue. It worked out perfectly. Our next step is talking to the wedding planner in Mexico to organize the details for the wedding there. We are getting very excited for the big day.    

Best wishes! Jacquelyn
