Morning ladies!

I work shifts & my sleep pattern has died, hence the time of day!

Anyway I thought it would be really interesting to find out whether you've gone for a home or away wedding & why?

I was really torn, I wanted the big celebration at home but I wanted the sunshine & beautiful beaches of some serene location abroad. So I've gone for the big celebration at home, but I'm toying with the idea of having a blessing on honeymoon...a second miniature wedding! A lot of my family couldn't come with me abroad & I'd feel guilty if they didn't see me taking my vows so that has to be first.

So what are you doing, where & why? Xxx

I am getting married abroad because unfortunatly its the only way my wedding will be about us & our day..
a certain family member may of ruined it for us :/

but we will have an amazing wedding so i cant complain now xx

go to your wedding

then your details

at the bottom is a tick box

We went for a home wedding due to family but a lot of the time we wished we'd gone for a destination wedding! my Parents are ever so involved! too much infact!

Thanks Lala,I'll do that :).

I'm the same as you Steffie but it's not that expensive to get the blessing on honeymoon so we're gonna go for that I think. My mum is trying to be super involved lol, but as I'm the only child I'm being nice at the moment! Xx

oUR ORIGINAL PLANS WERE FOR A HOME WEDDING WHICH WE THEN CHANGED TO ABROAD AS I WOULD LOVE TO GET MARRIED BY THE BEACH AND ALWAYS WANTED TO TAKE THE KIDS TO DISNEY FLORIDA LOL
WE NOW HAVE A HOME WEDDING AGAIN DUE TO FAMILY HEALTH LOL SO ARE DOING THE DISNEY THING A FEW YEARS LATER AND RENEWING OUR VOWS FOR OUR 10TH YEAR OF DATING ANNIVERSERY INSTEAD!

Destination wedding for us!

Similar reasons to Heidi & we just wanted an intimate wedding between the two of us :)

I believe Africa is harder to get to then the Gretna (I hope!) x

I knew since i was 9 where i would get married.... the local church to my mum and i still feel the same now. The church means alot to me and then having a 2 week honeymoon somewhere hot so got the best of both worlds xxx

We're having a UK wedding, for a few reasons.

First, although we don't have a huge guest-list, it is very important that everyone on our guest-list is there; and that likely wouldn't be possible with a destination wedding.

Second, because of my mum and MOH's work commitments, we have opted to marry during the summer holidays; going abroad, even short-haul, at this time of year, would have been very expensive for our guests, and I wouldn't have been comfortable with that.

Third, the type of wedding we want would not have been a huge amount cheaper abroad; so it seemed nonsensical to go abroad and cist our guests loads of money when we wouldn't be saving anything

Fourth, the destinations we like would be very hot in August; and having had photos done in the sun before, I can say it's not a very pleasant experience; I don't want to be sweating and red on my wedding day.

So, those are our reasons :-)

I would have loved a beach wedding just us and a couple of close friends, however Dan wanted the big wedding thing so we had it in the UK.

i have always wanted a wedding abroad mainly for the sunshine and the wonderful pictures but wont be having one as all my family wont be able to afford to come and i cant afford to pay for them all so its a wedding in the uk and av found a fantastic venue that i fell in love with str8 away its shouted WAG wedding to me lol, so most of my family will be shocked when they find out where its gona be. xx

Was never any question of doing it abroad, there was never really any question of doing it anywhere else other than the immediate vicinity of Sheffield (even though I'm from Norwich and H2b is from Liverpool and his mum lives in southern Spain!) Sheffield is our home (rubbish weather and all!), it wouldn't really feel like our wedding if it was anywhere else, and I'd feel uncomfortable getting married anywhere I didn't have that kind of emotional attatchment to. We're not having a massive wedding, but having our friends and family there is really important to us, and I could not ask them to pay that much to come to our wedding. As it is, all our families are having to travel anyway, we're relatively lucky Sheffield's pretty central to them all! And fancy the idea of getting all hot and sweaty on the day, I'm not very good with hot weather!

We are going for home beacuse all of our family is very important to us and h2b has a bigger family than me and we do want them all at the ceremony. Personally it had never even entered my head to get married abroad!! lol... I have always known I would want to be married here with all my friends and family... can't deny I will look forward to a relaxing honeymoon in the sun afterwards though!

We got married abroad (Vegas) and would do it again in a heartbeat. It was perfect for us. I think that's the thing you need to remember; everyone's different and what suits one couple, won't necessarily be the perfect thing for another.
