When growing up, many may envisage their fairy-tale wedding. The long flowing white dress, a beautiful bouquet of flowers, friends and family sharing the day and a stunning traditional church providing the backdrop of the photos as the sun shines. Unfortunately, with the weather forever changing in the UK you can never be certain what your wedding day will turn out like, which is why more couples are swapping the windy shores of England for the warmer climates of Spain, Barbados and further afield.
The guaranteed warm weather combined with beautiful aqua blue skies are just two of the attractions for couples looking to make their dream wedding come true. Despite the vivid images of couples getting married in an intimate celebration on the beach, a foreign wedding can be held in a range of locations, from quaint churches in an Italian village through to a chapel in the middle of Las Vegas’ strip.
However, despite the various advantages of getting married abroad, it is worth remembering that there will still be some hassles such as who to invite, what time of year to hold the ceremony and whether to only go abroad for the ceremony and a few days either side or to incorporate a holiday and honeymoon into the experience too. Another consideration you’ll need to think about is which insurance policy is best, travel or wedding?
In truth, when getting married abroad you should not only purchase travel insurance to provide you with the cover you’d want when taking a family vacation, but you should also purchase wedding insurance which provides protection from various issues which could arise as part of your wedding.
Whilst travel insurance will be able to offer you a level of protection for minor accidents, ill health whilst abroad, or the delay of a flight; wedding insurance from the right provider will be able to cover a lot more.
Some of the things which wedding insurance covers you for lost, stolen or accidental damaged wedding attire, lost wedding rings, cancellation of a wedding due to issues with the venue, public and private liability cover and much more. Although what you receive will vary considerably from provider to provider, it’s always advisable to know what you are covered for and what is excluded in the policy before purchasing.
The price of wedding insurance will also vary depending on the level of protection the cover offers; however when planning for your wedding you should always take the financial cost of having the right wedding insurance policy into account, after all without the correct level of cover you could see your dream wedding turn into a nightmare!
