We’ve all been to those weddings where the couple ends the night hungry and exhausted from making the rounds to greet and thank every guest. Destination weddings are popular because they allow the couple more opportunity to truly interact with the people that matter most to them.

The average number of guests at a traditional wedding is 130. The average for a destination wedding? A mere 48. It’s a great way to filter out distant relatives and acquaintances.

And what a warm winter break from a Canadian winter!
