Beyond Vegas: 25 Exotic Wedding and Elopement Destinations around the World FROM OUR EDITORS
What stressed out, wedding-crazed bride-to-be hasn't considered the option of elopement once or twice...a day? Well, married travel writers Lisa Tabb and Sam Silverstein turned that fantasy into a reality, ten times over, as they traveled the globe and tied the knot in location after exotic location. In Beyond Vegas they share their wisdom with the rest of us, giving the lowdown on elopements and destination weddings in locations both near and far, romantic and wacky.
SYNOPSIS
Getting married? What about eloping?
Dominating parents. Well-intentioned but annoying friends. Over-priced flowers
and cake. A reception hall that's only opening is a Wednesday night in
March. Weddings these days are too complicated, too stressful, and way too
expensive, and more often than not the bride and groom just donﾽt have much
fun. So, why bother? Why not elope? Or bring a few friends and family members
along and have a destination wedding.
Sailing in the Caribbean? Tanning on a Greek Island? Golf in Scotland? Skiing
in Wyoming? No matter what your pleasure, a romantic wedding in all of these
beautiful locations is much cheaper than the average $17,000 it takes for a
conventional wedding and doesn't take the usual 17 months to plan. In this
personal and entertaining guidebook, married couple and travel writers Lisa
Tabb and Sam Silverstein present 25 beautiful and exotic destinations that
they have researched through interviews and travel -- even getting married
themselves at 10 different locations -- that promise romance, fun, and the
keeping of a couple's sanity.

ROMANCE Come Fly With Me
Elopement is the ultimate form of travel with a purpose. But impetuous lovers
have to be careful about their destination; the idea is to find an attractive
place where the rules for getting married aren't too complicated. Lisa Tabb
and Sam Silverstein learned by doing. They got married, quite legally, in 10
countries, from Scotland to Fiji, and then wrote a book about it. Beyond
Vegas describes 25 marriage venues in all, some as homespun as Vermont, others as exotic as Borneo. The travel is alluring, and think about the bundles of joy that can issue from an elopement: all those frequent-flier miles.
