My wife and I also did a destination wedding. Its so much cheaper because no one can afford to go!
Round-trip airfare and 5 nights in a condo resort in Maui: $1600 for two.
Hot wedding planner, dude with ukelele, officiant with conch shell, beach location rental fee and marriage license fees: $900
Professional photographer who digitally mastered the photos and provided 600 pics on DVD to do as we please: $900
Not too bad.
