My BF and I are totally serious about going to Vegas and having a goofy, campy wedding, officiated by an Elvis impersonator. If we weren't so dead set on being kind of tacky, I'd say Venice or Fiji.

agree fiji if it could be ANYWHERE money being no object

but considering most people choose this as a less expensive/easy option i'd say some resort somewhere that would be feasible economically for my guests like costa rica or mexico or cuba or domincan republic

paris, i feel, is a very $$$ option because you wouldn't have an all inclusive price and food/flight/accomodations would really add up - however it is very romantique

for me, i'd like to keep it easy and intimate so i'd say a resort where the booze flows freely and it's WARM!

a beach anywhere. or if i had the dough, Easter Island.

Venice, Italy. It's been my dream to be married there for as long as I can remember.

Lake Placid, Santorini, Prague

I would love to be married in Italy, I love it there. I'd love it if my family in Sicily came over to the Therasia Resort, so we could be married overlooking the sea -- and then honeymoon the same hotel...I'd LOVE that.

Somewhere tropical, like a resort in Mexico. Or I think it would be awesome to get married in the English countryside.

Oheka Castle on Long Island... or any castle - Scotland, Ireland, England, Italy - doesn't matter. I just like the idea of a Castle wedding. The Oheka one is my first choice because I grew up in NY. I'd love to have a Gatsby wedding there. (of course this would be a renewal of vows since I've already been married for 13 years lol )

I agree with dm8bri I have always wanted to visit Venice with the one I loved. My husband and I were actually going to do this only we were just gonna go to the courthouse get married and visit Italy for a week and come back to tell everyone the news. Then came baby, so we'll settle for a 5 year anniversary vacation there instead.

Dubrovnik would probably be my dream destination wedding location. If/when I get married, I'd like to have a small, intimate ceremony there, or somewhere else in Europe, and a big reception in my hometown upon return.

I think I'm a rarity in that I've truly never liked the idea of a destination wedding. I really want to be married at home in a Catholic church (my boyfriend's church is beautiful!) and have a big reception with everyone and their uncle.

Ours was on the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica on the beach of Punta Uva. We chose a DW because we had too much family scattered around the U. S. that picking any area would have upset someone. A week-long DW gave us a chance to hang with family we hardly see since we don't live near them. If we did a DW with no guests we would have picked Thailand.

If we got married in the U. S. I was pushing for Tennessee, California Redwoods, or Polson, MT.

I don't like the idea of a destination wedding. No one I know (including my family) would be able to afford it. I would be very happy to be married in the church my parents were married in and have the reception in the backyard of my parents house.

New Orleans! It would be cheaper than other places, lots of good food, and close to my family. Who wouldn't want to go to New Orleans?

I second that, Nancita!

New Orleans would be a great wedding destination as long as you're not doing it in the summer. It's just soooo humid and it would suck. October would be the ideal time of year for an outdoor wedding there.

I'm already married, but a destination wedding at Lake Constance in Germany/Austria/Switzerland or Lake Como would be nice.

I think the point (for me, anyway) of a destination wedding is avoiding all of the wedding party hooplah (I would NOT be able to pick just a few bridesmaids) and only having VIPs in attendance. It's almost cheaper that way.

We are planning to go to Sonoma or Napa. We want something very small and intimate. We haven't decided if we are inviting people or not. I would like it to be just us.

we just had ours on a TINY island in St Vincent and the Grenadines called Canouan Island. it was beautiful and private and so amazing. the best thing is that there's only the resort and a small village on the island so it's not like there's anything else to get in the way of the wedding

My aunt got married in Marbella, Spain. It was so beautiful! I'd probably choose south of France or Florence.

I would want to get married in Dubrovnik, there is a small island near the town that has an old monastery and garden, that would be awesome. My boyfriend is Croatian, and it would be awesome for my family to see that beautiful place and it would be easy for his other relatives to get there from other parts of Europe. Its really a magical place.....

This may sound kind of nerdy, but one afternoon when my boyfriend and I were watching The Lord of the Rings:The Two Towers we were watching the scene where the members of the fellowship were in a "kingdom" that was set on hills and surrounded by flatland. We were amazed by how beautiful it looked and remembered that they shot all three movies in New Zealand. So wherever they shot that scene with the poisoned king was is where we would like to get married.

I got married in Jamica. It was my storybook wedding, I was just reading a different book than the one the wedding industry wanted to sell me. The main issue for us was cutting out the crazy wedding nonsense. The ceremony was for us and we had a small reception when we got back. We've been married 13 years--I feel old saying that!

I'm already married, but I still fantasize about a wedding in a vineyard in France, or a cathedral in Italy. Oh, to dream. lol

I married in Amsterdam, Netherlands which was very beautiful and romantic. My husband is Dutch and was living there his whole life, so we had our wedding there. It became a destination wedding for my family and friends. We married in a windmill in the northern section of the city and from there our guest boarded a large canal boat that a captain steered through the city for a time. All around us people waved from the bridges and streets. We had dancing, drinks, food and two singers on board who really got the party going. Later on we stopped at a certain spot and walked to The Waag. An old fortress turned restaurant where we had the formal dinner. It was magical. Our motto was Live Your Dreams, and we did that day.

ilanac-I would LOVE to get married in the Grenadines. Most perfect place to get married ever. Secluded, not cliche, and gorgeous.

Or I'd love to get married in Norway, by a fjord.

I think proposing/getting married in Paris is a bit of a cliche (although I live in England and everybody seems get proposed to there (I went to Paris for the day recently), perhaps for US people it doesn't happen as often...)

We got married in the Bahamas. It was beautiful, and great pictures to prove it. We couldn't afford a great wedding and honeymoon, so we figured this was the best choice. My parents and an aunt joined us, then we had the reception at home.

Jamaica, because most of my family is there and I would want to share that day with them.

My fiancee is from Jamaica and he still has plenty of family there so we will be getting married there. I decided to go super touristy on it because my man has never experienced his homeland from a tourist point of view so we will be staying in an all-inclusive, in the middle of Montego Bay and we will check out all of the most famous tourist traps. It shall be incredible.

Definitely Fiji. That is my vision of the perfect romantic yet lively location. It just seems like a place that brings happiness.

I just had a destination wedding myself- 2.5 weeks ago. We got married in Nassau, Bahamas.

I am getting married in Monterosso al Mare, Cinque Terre, Italy in three weeks!

I think.. I'd love getting married either in Paris, in Sevilla, in Madrid, in Venice, Rome.. There are so many places I'd love to get married in!!

I agree on Mdemariah There are so many places i think, Madrid, Roma, Paris,...

1. Ritz Carlton, Bali
2. Old gorgeous church in Vienna during Christmas
3. Napa Valley

Italy would be the dream destination. If I had the money I would love to get married in one of the amazing Roman churches, but to get a little less expensive Venice is a close second.. and you can hold a very romantic honeymoon there afterwards.

In Paris, on a peniche, that's where we will be celebrating our marriage; we are getting married in Shanghai, officially.

How romantic and I just went to Paris last June. Plus I plan on going back. I think that I would like to be married there or in Italy. I wish your friend a lot of luck and one day I will be getting married as well.

I got married on the beach in Dubai last year...it was absolutely amazing!!! and everything that I imagined it to be!!
