    If you could have a destination wedding anywhere in the world, with money being no object and you would be able to pay for all of your close family and friends to be there, where would you have it?!

     

    This is for fun to dream a little dream. FI and I discussed a destination wedding to Disneyland for a long time, but realized it would be much too much $$ for us to spend (especially because we would want to pay for our groomsmen and bridesmaids trips and hotel rooms there). It added up before you knew it! Now we are getting married in his hometown, which I love!

     

    If I could pick a destination anywehre in the world, I would say Italy becasue I have always wanted to go there and FI has Italian roots! Who's next?

    I think on a smaller cruise ship that I rent out for ALL of our family and friends! Not sure where it would sail though, as my dream wedding would be 'at sea'.

    Hawaii or Jamaica! We had a (semi) destination beach wedding at a very nice place, but if money were no object... I would go crazy with the tropical flowers too, like insane amounts of them :)

    ETA: I looked into a Disney resort for our honeymoon (FL)- it was so EXPENSIVE!

    I would rent out an Irish castle, like... the whole thing. No question.

    My second choice would be Tuscany.

    @zippylef:  I was going to say that too! I love Ireland and want to go with DH there sometime. Our hm was in Italy and there was this villa on Capri... I would have loved a wedding there! Or in some villa in the Tuscan hills... or a beach somewhere prettier than a Texas one.

    Alaska! We are *hopefully* going there for our delayed HM later this year. It's just so gorgeous. Probably on a small yacht or something so our family could be there. *sigh*

    Sweden! Stockholm or some cabin in the woods. Probably the cabin. Superbly furnished in that amazing scandinavian style and modern technology hidden behind natural design. Sigh...

    @thepainter:  I was going to say that I couldn't think of any place that would mean more to me/us than where we did get married, but then I saw your pictures and I know DH would have loved getting married there and so would I.

    That's not as much of a "destination" wedding as most for us, since we live within a few hours of many places like that and a lot of our friends/family live even closer, but still. That would be my answer as well!

    Oh I thought of a better place, New Zeland where they built the set for the Shire... or where Edoras was, mostly because I am a nerd.

    No option for me - it would be Prince Edward Island in Canada, on the Northumberland Strait.  My family is from there, and I was engaged there :)
