In a recent poll carried out by First Choice 57% of people who responded said they would consider getting married abroad.
This trend is attributed to two main reasons. The media coverage of celebrity weddings in far off places and financial reasons.
The average cost a wedding in the UK
is approximately £11,000.00 compared
with the average overseas wedding
costing around £520.00
Of course another reason for getting married overseas could be the love of horses and horse riding. Many of Equitour's destinations offer the opportunity of
tying the knot during your horse riding holiday.
These destinations include
South Africa,
Costa Rica,
France and
Argentina.
Some destinations will even give you the opportunity of getting married on horseback! Louise, from Equitour Worldwide Riding Holidays did exactly that this year.
Louise partner at the time decided to spring a
little surprise at the end of their escorted tour with a group of 20 riders from The John Lewis Partnership.
All of the planning and arrangements were carried out by the
Ranch Safari Ride in South Africa.
"Laura was fantastic" said Louise. "Her
planning and attention to detail was
first rate. She even managed to let me
ride my favourite horse at the ranch on
the big day."
Louise continued "Even the minister
was on horseback for the ceremony!"
When asked to sum up the whole
experience Louise had just one word
"Magical!"
