p>Your wedding day is supposed to be the best day of your life. Of course, the most important thing is that you're marrying someone you truly love, but you also want the ceremony to be as perfect as the ones you've been envisioning since childhood. Tradition has it that weddings should be held in the bride's hometown. However, for many people who live in a Bloor street neighbourhood - 35 Hayden St. isn't exactly the most perfect location for a wedding. That's why more and more people are choosing to have destination weddings, or more specifically, cottage weddings. These are the types of weddings we focus on here at CottageWeddings.ca.
The basic principle behind a cottage wedding is that you don't have to go to Mexico or the Canary Islands to have a lovely destination wedding. In these tough economic times, many people can't afford to fly to another country and rent Mexico beachfront real estate just to go to a wedding. So if you choose an exotic locale, a lot of times you'll have to do without some of your family and friends in attendance. But of course you want to be surrounded by all the people who matter to you, so you can choose to have a destination wedding here in Canada instead.
The advantage of a cottage wedding as opposed to a destination wedding is that staying in Canada is much cheaper than leaving it. Canada is such a sparsely populated country that even if you live in a huge metropolitan area like Toronto or Vancouver you'll only have to drive a few hours at most to find a lovely, quiet location for your wedding. By eliminating the airfare from the destination and getting a group rate at a small bed and breakfast or cottage complex, you can have an exotic, adventurous wedding without the added expense, which will come as a relief to your guests.
