From Europe to the Caribbean, the world is truly the wedding industry's oyster.

Light starts with the big steps, helping couples to actually choose their ideal location, set an appropriate budget and make travel arrangements for themselves and their guests. Then she moves on to details that a lovestruck couple might overlook, such as factoring currency exchange rates into the wedding budget, considering wedding customs that might be unsuitable for another culture and the fact that marriage licenses differ in foreign countries. She provides inspirational stories from her own clients, profiling romantic success stories from all over the world, and also offers scores of practical tips, such as detailed, site-specific information for several of her favorite spots.
