Top wedding destinations revealed

The Caribbean is the top wedding destination among Britons about to tie the knot, according to a new study.

Research by Halifax revealed that brides and grooms would most like a beach wedding in one of the Caribbean's many beach resorts.

Maui in Hawaii and the Amalfi Coast in Italy were voted next in line in the poll of more than 2,000 people.

Las Vegas – where Peaches Geldof recently tied the knot – was fourth in the poll.

The survey also revealed that there is a rise in the number of more unusual weddings.

Interestingly, twice as many men chose to tie the knot surrounded by Mickey and friends at Disneyland.

Vicky Watson, spokeswoman for Halifax Travel Insurance, said: "Destination weddings are increasing in popularity as the likes of Coleen and Wayne and now Peaches and her husband opt for such a thing. The choice of location both of these celebrity couples made featured in our research proving that a wedding abroad is something many of us think and dream about.

"Las Vegas has a huge kitsch appeal as a wedding venue - and the thought of getting married in a 24-hour drive thru chapel by an Elvis Presley look-alike clearly appeals to some people. With recent pictures of wild child Peaches Geldof getting married there, the location is likely to increase in popularity amongst party loving partners wanting to tie the knot."
