Oh yes! These two items are the most important and are not to be overlooked when you are planning for a destination wedding at a foreign location. However, with the running around involved , couples may tend to overlook checking on their passports and visas.

If your wedding location is situated outside of your home country, first thing is to make sure that your passport is valid. Yes, and valid for at least six months before your trip or you may just as well kiss the entire trip good bye! To be on the safe side, if it's due to expire in six months time, best is to have it renewed as soon as possible.

A visa is just as important. Do check if a visa is required in the country where you are holding your destination wedding or even where you are planning to have your honeymoon. Some countries do require a visa and you need to apply through the embassy or consulate and it may take some time to be processed.

So, we do suggest that a few months before you are ready for the wedding, do check on these two items. And do remember, that also you do need a valid passport before being able to apply for any visa.

Happy planning!
