1. It’s budget-friendly. Many destination weddings end up costing less than $4,000, with that figure including the cost of the honeymoon. Couples will find this very hard to pull off in the U.S. since most wedding ceremonies alone cost between 18,050 and $30,083, according to The Wedding Report, a research company that tracks and forecasts wedding statistics. (Actual costs in the U.S. can vary quite a bit based on options and geographical area.)

Imagine hearing the gentle lull of a turquoise tide as you step barefoot onto soft, pink sands. Palm trees sway behind you as a placid breeze flows off the sea’s surface and calms all cares. There at the water’s edge is your place of union, an infinite altar where the Caribbean sun dips slowly into the ocean horizon. Timeless vows are exchanged and you embrace under the luminous glow of a Caribbean sunset. A new romance has sprouted, and what better place for it to bloom than in the exotic tropics of the Caribbean isles.
