Steve Griswold and friends discuss why destination weddings work: they give couples and guests three to four days together for beach time, excursions, meals, and games instead of a rushed few hours at a local venue.
Mind you, probably one of the main reasons that people do a destination wedding is the fact that they get to spend 3, 4 days with their closest friends and family versus 3, 4 hours running from table to table, right? In this case, you're having time on the beach and you're having time over a meal or a drink.
So at our wedding, there were people that I know I didn't talk to. I mean, it happens. You know, you're making your rounds as much as you can, but that's a good point that, yeah, You know, people are here to celebrate the couple. Right. And they're at the wedding, they put some good money out, and to be able to spend time with them and actually connect, I think that I never thought about that aspect.
Yeah, because our wedding, we just like got in the car and we were gone. I didn't get to see anybody. And then we meet up. It's just like, dun dun dun dun dun. Yeah, then it's over.
I know.
But you get to spend the whole week with them.
You know, average what I see is 3, 4 days. They're doing different things, maybe doing excursions, having beach party or volleyball games. Things that, that bond, right? Yeah. And ultimately it's about creating the memories, right? So you're building these memories throughout the duration of your stay, and then it's an opportunity to revisit all of those when you have your anniversary or just any kind of a celebration at the house, you know.
