Why would anyone choose to get married in South

Africa? First of all you can almost guarantee

sunny warm weather as we have 300 sunny days in

the year. South Africa remains one of the most

popular wedding destinations in the world. The

tumbling exchange rate means that your pounds,

dollars and euros can buy you a wedding that

makes the luxurious affordable and a honeymoon

that will be above and beyond your dreams! South

Africa is geared up to tourists and tourism in

general so it is a very "user-friendly" place to

visit. The banking system is sophisticated.

Telecommunications are advanced and are under

improvement all the time, particularly in the

light of the 2010 Soccer World Cup that is taking

place here. The planning of your wedding would

pose no problem as there are any number of

wedding planners working independently or on

behalf of some beautiful venues who would be able

to assist you with making your big day a reality.

The next decision to make is where to have your

wedding? You may wish to take your wedding party

of friends and family on a holiday with you,

getting married and then having an African

Holiday while you are in this part of the world.

There are so many gorgeous venues that could

accommodate your party exclusively, where you

could have the wedding ceremony and honeymoon,

either in the African bush or on a gorgeous

tropical beach, or you could combine the two

experiences. You will be spoilt for choice.

There is another option that is gaining in

popularity and that could also be incorporated in

your plans and that is a golf safari holiday.

There are some spectacular golf estates and

courses throughout South Africa and these are

close enough to other attractions so that if

there are those in your party who would rather

game view, go to the beach or shop, then that is

what they could do!

Don't forget the options for the extreme sports

lovers who want to tie the knot! There are

mountaineering and hiking destinations. Or there

is white water rafting, kayaking and spectacular

desert dune surfing. For the surfers and board

riders our coastline has endless beaches, from

Cape Town to Jeffrey's Bay, Durban and further

north. If diving and snorkeling are your thing,

there is the destination for you. How does

snorkeling on a coral reef on a subtropical beach

in Mozambique sound, or diving off the Natal

Coast in Sodwana Bay? The possibilities are

endless!
