Getting Married in Cape Town

It is not hard to understand why many couples, those from the UK in particular, choose South Africa as their wedding destination, it is a beautiful country and Cape Town in particular is an extremely popular destination for weddings and honeymoons alike, not to mention golf vacations and safari tours in the many wildlife parks. Sandy white beaches, numerous mountain ranges, wildlife and friendly climate make Cape Town a top venue for weddings and make for an unforgettable honeymoon.

Having said this, a top UK newspaper recently issued new survey results indicating that almost one in four British couples who married in the past two years, headed out of the UK to wed, spending £1.8bn in the process. The figure shows a sharp rise compared to the five years from 1996 to 2001, when just 9% of couples married abroad.

It is suggested that around 300 000 British couples marry each year and, according to a report found on www.moneyuk.msn, the wedding market in the UK is worth in the region of £4.2 billion! With the average wedding today in the UK costing anything between £15 000 and £20 000, it is easy to see how this amount is calculated! Prime overseas locations that guarantee both sun and romance were listed by the newspaper as South Africa, St Lucia, Mauritius, Las Vegas and Antigua.

More and more couples are choosing this route as it is not only cost effective but also gives the added benefit of a honeymoon and wedding in one, so to say!
