Notes

• Weddings in Italy is an American company that offers weddings for British nationals in romantic locations all over Italy.
• Marry Abroad is an overseas wedding planning website. It has quite a useful guide to the legal requirements for weddings in numerous countries.
• Walking on Sunshine Weddings specialise in organsing barefoot beach weddings in Goa.
• Ranch holiday specialist, Ranch Rider (01509 618811) has been promoting some of its ranches, estancias and bush homes as wedding venues.
• Travel journalists, Mark Hodson and David Wickers' website 101holidays.co.uk has a new (2010) sister site, 101honeymoons.co.uk, edited by Jane Anderson, who knows more about wedding and honeymoon travel than anyone in travel media. 101 are similar to Travel-Lists in most but two respects: they too recommend travel providers based on years of experience in travel media, but they limit their recommendations to just 101 companies.... and they are better looking, mostly. Grr.
• If you're planning a wedding, then you almost certainly don't need me to tell you that You & Your Wedding is a good source of inspiration for all things 'wedding' including travel ideas.
