What do you think of a beach wedding on a tropical island? is it really romantic? I watched a video of a beach wedding posted on Youtube, looked a bit pathetic (there were strangers in bikini in the background)

I think that getting married abroad is an excellent idea but it depends on the location and the way you plan it. I got married abroad and I didn't do it on the beach it was done in very nice hotel and it was well planned and everything went smoothly
When we went on our honeymoon to Turks and Caicos we saw couples getting married on the beach and it looked very classy. All the wedding guests were dresses in nice summer dresses not bikini's or anything like that.
Also some of my friends have been married abroad and they held the ceremonies at hotels or lovely venues. Just because you decide to marry abroad it doesn't have to be a beach wedding. You can still go to a tropical island and have a nice romantic wedding without dressing in a bikini

getting married abroad is a bad idea. If you want to unhappy for the rest of your life why not do in the presence of all friends and relatives? Maybe someone might actually talk out out of getting married after all. In all seriousness you shouldn't get married for the simple reason that in the even of a divorce where will you go if you have already gone abroad for the wedding?

I think the idea of getting married abroad seems really exotic and gorgeous, obviously if you were getting married, you would make sure there were no strangers in the foreground!! whole idea seems so sexy and id defo do it, it depends on what type of person you are, and if you are that romantic, why rule out the idea?
Id go for somewhere like Italy definitely the Amalfi coast, lol, look at me going on, im only 19 and im finding it hard to let this guy know i fancy him, never mind marriage lol!!! if i were to get married, Italy is my dream!!!

Its fine BUT, I want to give you a heads up. Find out the requirements for time in country before you go and plan extra days in the country before you get married there. In November this year a flight from Edmonton was going to Cancun and was delayed in Calgary there were approx 11 brides on board who were worried because the delayed flight caused havoc on their wedding plans because some of them would not have enough time in Mexico before their wedding to get a license. Good Luck!

Getting married abroad in the setting you describe is definitely romantic.
What you will need to do is to check out the legal requirements for marriage in the country in which you want to marry (eg, in Australia you must give your celebrant/minister/priest at least one month and one day's notice of your intention to marry, as well as supplying birth certiicates, divorce certificates - if applicable - at the time of giving notice).
You will also need to check if the marriage ceremony conducted abroad will be recognised as a legal ceremony in your home country. Some are and some are not!
Also, your marriage certificate will be registered in the Registry Office in the country/state or territory where you married so if you need to obtain an official marriage certificate for legal reasons you will need to apply to the Regisry Office abroad for a copy.
Best of luck to you.

It's a bit pathetic if your loved ones won't be there. I think the tropical island thing is the honeymoon, not the wedding.

Susan and I were married in Waimate, New Zealand in January 2002, 12000 miles from our home in England.
It was a little odd to be marrying in a bandstand in amongst summer flowers whilst at home some of our families were shivering in bed in the middle of the night in midwinter, but I'd do it again if we had to relive the time.
It didn't half brighten up a dreary winter! We had a month in New Zealand and stole some extra summer.

well all I can say is that all of the ppl that answered saying getting married is dumb idea ....take a hike you losers... no-one has the right to tell another that their ideas are dumb..as for getting married abroad well if that is what you both truly want then do it..my girlfriend and I are considering this option because we want something special for us , it has nothing whatsoever to do with who is there to watch it has to do with who you are there with ...in reality if you have 1000 friends and family there or no-one, the one you want to marry is the only one that matters....by all means if you want to keep family happy then you have a reception when you get back home ... these days many ppl spend too much time and money trying to keep all the friends and family happy with the wedding and reception when it has nothing to do with them being happy... the whole point of the day is that you are declaring your love for someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with and that the two of you are happy....

My sister got married abroad and it was beautiful.Whatever you choose everyone will make it a special day-even if you do get some strangers watching-lol! I would just ask someone who is helping organize the day to try to keep them away.

I have the same dilemma, I'm not sure if i should get married through church where my husband wants us to (were married through civil) for the reason that most of his family will be there, but I'm not sure if mine will be willing to travel over there. So i would recommend you to talk to your husband and both families, and see if they also like the idea. Good luck!!!
