Saturday afternoon our friends Wally and Katherine were married at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood in Oregon. While more people seem to associate weddings with warm weather than snow, the views of the mountain are pretty magical. Our friends are taking off for a warm weather honeymoon in Bonaire to go SCUBA diving, though, so they aren't totally tied into snow!
More and more couples seem to be choosing the option of destination weddings with a very small number of guests (sometimes even no guests!) followed by a party after they return from their honeymoon. That way they have the intimacy of a small wedding but still have the fun of a big party.
Favorite destinations for weddings are Hawaii, the Caribbean, and the South Pacific. It's always best to do some research to find out if weddings in your destination will be recognized in your own country. For example, many couples love the idea of getting married in Tahiti but the US doesn't recognize the marriage. For that reason, these couples will often have a civil ceremony in the US before taking off for the South Pacific.
