Over recent years, getting married abroad has become increasingly popular. With the average wedding in the UK costing twenty thousand pounds it is no wonder people are jetting off to places like Fiji, where you can get married for as little as six hundred pounds!

If you are thinking of getting married abroad then there are some points you need to consider. Not all of your friends and family may be able to afford jetting off with you to attend your wedding, or they may not be able to get time off work. You will need to arrange for transport of your dresses, suits and other wedding items such as favours which will add to the cost. When making payments to your wedding venue abroad be sure to find out how much the current exchange rate is and try and make payments when the exchange rate is in your favour. You should also be carefully when using cards abroad as many banks charge for this and it can quickly add up.

Getting married abroad can be cheaper than a wedding in the UK but it may also be a little more stressful in the planning. The bonus is you can stay a little longer than your guests and have your honeymoon too.
