Opting to get married abroad may prove to offer good value for money, an expert has suggested.
Shona Swain, the general manager for long haul for Thomson and FirstChoice, said that getting married overseas offers a number of benefits to consumers, particularly on ensuring good weather for the big day.
"Getting married overseas offers excellent value for money compared to getting married in the UK," said Ms Swain.
She added that as bad summers continue to blight the UK, opting for a foreign marriage may prove to be more reliable.
However, it is important to remember to take out
travel insurance for the special day, to provide security should anything affect proceedings.
Indeed Ms Swain said that customers were strongly advised to take out a insurance that provided cover not only for a trip away but also for marriage.
The National Cost of a Wedding Survey 2008 found that the average cost of a marriage in the UK now stands at £20,273.
