Hello everyone... My fiancé and I recently got engaged in Cuba and are strongly considering a destination wedding... For a few main reasons: - our family is spread out through Ontario & Saskatchewan. - we love to travel. - we are also hoping this helps us avoid inviting a whole bunch of people we don't know. - costs We are a bit confused on where to start... A few questions we have are: - which countries can you get married in with out having to jump through the hoops of blood tests, etc. - I have noticed a lot of people on this site our getting married in Mexico.., has anyone been or planning a wedding in Aruba? - if your planning a destination wedding is it proper to still have to stag/doe, bridal shower, etc? - for the wedding party should we help pay for the fights, dresses/ suits, etc? - we are hoping to keep our wedding costs around $5,000 - $6,000. - what is the protocall for gifts... Do we still resigter for gifts or do people normally not purchase gifts since they are traveling to the wedding? We are hoping for a Feb 2015 wedding hopefully we have enough time to pull this off. If anyone has any websites to recommend or a good travel agent in Saskatchewan please let me know. Thanks. Tania.
