The Caribbean islands have long been a favorite honeymoon destination for newly married couples. The weather there is sunny all year round and wedding couples can enjoy a number of wonderful vacation activities together, like taking tours, trying water sports, or even just lying in the sun. In the past few decades, it has also become very popular to travel to the Caribbean for the wedding itself, not just for the honeymoon. There are both advantages and disadvantages to doing so.

First, you must consider who you want to have present at your wedding. By law, you will probably be required to have a certain number of witnesses, and you may not be able to imagine your wedding without your father to walk you down the aisle or your best friend as your best man. Remember that every guest you want to be present at the wedding will have to be flown to the island. In many cases, the guests will not be able to afford this trip themselves and you will have to pay for all or at least some of it. If this isn’t in your budget, it may not be possible for you to have everyone present at your wedding ceremony. The cost of a Caribbean wedding where you pay for everyone attending is definitely a disadvantage. It is becoming more of a trend, however, for the guests to pay for their own way.

While it may be nice to have friends and family around for the wedding, you might wish they would disappear after the wedding. Your guests may also remain at the vacation location as part of their own vacation so if you want some private time, an all inclusive couples only resort may be what you need for them to stay out of your way.

However, one of the main advantages is also that you are already in the location where you’ll be honeymooning. Travel is stressful and not a good way to start a new life together, so instead, you can just jump right in to paradise.
