Tying the Knot...Somewhere Else

Destination weddings seem to be really popular these days. They're a great option if you are trying to cut down on the size of the guest list or wanting to have a more casual affair. And many brides and grooms simply have dreams of saying "I Do" with their feet in the sand!

I discovered these statistics in a Missouri bridal magazine and found them interesting....

The number of destination weddings held each year in the United States is 500,000. And of that, 100,000 are held in Las Vegas alone!

Additionally the number of destination weddings held in Hawaii is 25,000.

Outside of the U.S., two countries hold the high honors for destination weddings. There are 5,000 weddings held annually in Jamaica. And with a close second, there are 4,000 weddings held each year in the Bahamas.
