Instead of a one-day event, a destination wedding typically spans 3–5 days. This gives you ample time to really visit with family and friends AND sneak away as a couple to enjoy the honeymoon part of the trip. Plus, you can have other pre- or post-wedding events like brunch on the beach, swimming with dolphins, spa days, meet-andgreet pool party, sunset cruises, or other sightseeing excursions.
