It’s really a well know truth that the British have a interest in our weather day in day out. And who is going to blame us? Just where else might you get those extremes, from deep snow during the winter season, through to wet rainy summer mornings followed by blisteringly hot summer afternoons? We can never predict if we have to go out dressed ready for rainfall or hot sunshine. And this is okay on an ordinary day, however, if you’re starting to plan your big wedding day then the great British weather really can become a headache.
A large number of British marriage ceremonies happen during the milder summer season from April/May through to August/September with partners wishing to steer clear of the chance of rainfall on their own big day. Therefore popular weeks will get booked up several years in advance, leaving numerous young couples disillusioned or even forking out over the odds for their 2nd or even third choice locations.
To avert this predicament an increasing number of individuals are now deciding to get wed abroad. With a number of European destinations such as Italy, Greece and Cyprus only a quick flight away it is not difficult to realise why. Not only do all of these locations boast sizzling sun-drenched climes but they may also offer some spectacular wedding venues that are truly extraordinary. Contemplate getting married in Italy inside a Church in Tuscany, or by historic ruins in Kos, Greece. And then evaluate the price…. the normal British wedding and reception is currently just short of twenty thousand pounds. Being married abroad is going to be a small fraction of this without having negative impact on the standard of the day.
The main tour operators nowadays provide weddings abroad. Thomas Cook weddings are typically sold in two dedicated wedding brochures with countries as far away as Bali and Malaysia. Virgin Weddings are definitely the experts in the united states but if it’s European good value you want then UK favourite First Choice will be the ideal travel agent.
And so, help save yourself a huge heap of money and a climate related headache by planning a wedding overseas. It’ll be probably the most memorable days of your lifetime for all the best reasons!
