Last August, my cousin whom just got engaged, wanted a destination wedding. And as one of her bridesmaids and close friends she asked me for some help. We sat down and decided between Florida and Jamaica for her wedding spot. They both had hot temperatures at the time of the date and they both had really nice resorts. When we were looking and comparing we had pros and cons about both places.
Jamaica was an all inclusive resort, were the Florida's resort wasn't. So we knew it was going to be expensive. Jamaica's wedding package was also way cheaper then it was in Florida. But on the other hand you didn't need to get a passport to go to Florida. And it was going to be four to six months before we got our passports. Florida is also not a poor state or country like Jamaica is. When it was all said and done the bride and groom, with my help, decided to get married in Jamaica. Although a poor country and the hassle of getting passports, it was all around the cheaper way to go. When you have 30+ people attending your destination wedding you try to save people money!
I have visited Florida before and just flying into Jamaica was the coolest site I have ever seen! Jamaica is so small that we could see the whole country from inside the plane. My cousins’ wedding was so beautiful. It wouldn't have been the same if she were to get married in Florida. Florida was very fun but going to Jamaica was a way better experience then Florida was. Hands down I would go to Jamaica over Florida any day!

Before my husband and I got married, we had contemplated going to Jamaica. We had originally thought that it was just going to be us and one other couple, but then we decided that we should include our children (we both have kids from a previous marriage). Then we decided we both really wanted our parents to be there. After realizing that it would be way too expensive to get everyone to Jamaica, we decided to get married here in West Fargo in our back yard. We invited a lot more people than we had originally planned and even had a reception at the VFW. All together it was still cheaper to have a bigger wedding here, than having a small wedding in Jamaica. Although we had a really good time, I would have loved to get married in Jamaica. I am hoping that someday, we can take a honeymoon trip there!
Good choice on Jamaica mon. Florida can wait until you retire. It is great to get out and see the world while you are still able.
