Our Top 5 Reasons to Have a Destination Wedding

• You can control the weather… or can you? (Tessa can!)
• Small guest counts > large guest counts 
• We’re OBSESSED with built-in vacations (no walking the dog or cleaning your house before ceremony)
• Learning a new culture, like a lei exchange in Hawaii
• Pick a meaningful location to share with your family and friends… awwww.

Links and Miscellaneous Thoughts from this Episode:

• Intro: We talked about J+B’s amazing destination wedding that included dancing under the stars, a boba bar, and so many other details that made their Hawaii destination wedding “better than his sister’s wedding”.
