Couples say 'I do, I do' to destination weddings; Florida is among

When Karen Matuszewski and Louis Glaza of Chicago were planning their wedding about this time last year, they decided they wanted a location that was warm and out of the norm.

So the couple researched various wedding destinations and decided to opt for Playa Paraiso, a private beachfront resort area near Cancun, Mexico.

Fifteen family members and friends joined the couple at adjacent all-inclusive Iberostar resorts for the April beachfront wedding and reception.

"I can't imagine a more romantic location than a gorgeous beach for a wedding. I'm on top of the world," Karen Glaza said just after her wedding.

Her father also was thrilled with the wedding location choice because it offered the family a great excuse to take a much-needed vacation.

"It's been fantastic to get away. We're thinking of coming back next year," Bill Matuszewski said.

Destination weddings are becoming the rage as couples discover the advantages of traveling to host their wedding in a glamorous location.

Popular destinations include St. Augustine, Fla., the Florida Keys, the Caribbean islands and Cancun, Mexico.

A destination wedding solves the dilemma of whether to hold

the nuptials in the couple's hometown or where they now live. The option is ideal for couples who have family and friends living in far-flung locations.
