A day to remember

It seems that couple are becoming much more adventurous these days about where and how they get married. Only a few years ago, nearly every couple wanted a traditional wedding that took place in a church or another religious building. The happy pair invited their closest friends to the ceremony and then celebrated with a special meal and lots of dancing. Everyone wore their best clothes and they followed traditions that had been handed down from generation to generation.

Today, people are making new traditions! More and more young couples want to do something on their wedding day that is very special and different. They hope that everyone there will remember it for a very long time. Some also want their wedding to be in a place that has a certain meaning for them. A popular place for today’s young bride and groom is a tropical beach under a blue sky and with palm trees in the background. This is because it’s a place where they would never usually go. Other couples are more courageous! People are getting married in the air while sky diving, at the top of mountains, on planes, in museums or underwater! You name a place – someone has got married there – even in a motorway café! It is also possible to find special travel agents who can help you organize your big day.

So, where would your ideal place to get married be? Write a 300-word email saying where you would like to get married and giving your reasons. The best email will receive a £100 book token. Get writing!
