A best man's toast can offer a thought provoking look at married life, honor his friendship with the groom or reveal intimate and often embarrassing details of the couple's courtship. There are certain advantages and disadvantages to having a destination wedding.
The couple may opt to have their wedding in the location of their honeymoon so that there honeymoon will start immediately after the wedding. While the wedding is for the couple and in general they should plan it as they see fit, this should not be done at the risk of hurting the feelings of family members by neglecting their culture in the ceremony and reception. You will want to choose a photographer who is both talented as well as courteous towards his clients.
The other advantage to arriving at the reception in a horse drawn carriage is that the fairy tale connotations make the night seem truly magical. The week prior to your wedding was also probably especially hectic with a great deal of last minute details to attend to and errands to run. This togetherness time was traditionally an opportunity for the couple to consummate the marriage but in modern times it is more of chance for the couple to reflect on their wedding ceremony and the start of their life together before the chaos of the wedding.
Guest may choose to give gift cards, money, or other items that they know will be appreciated by the bride and groom. However, if you plan on having only a small number of guests then a wedding in a private home may be a wonderful option.
