Marriage is a commitment to life, the best that two people can find and bring out in each other. It offers opportunities for sharing and growth that no other relationship can equal. It is a physical and an emotional joining that is promised for a lifetime.
When two people pledge their love and care for each other in marriage, they create a spirit unique unto themselves which binds them closer than any spoken or written words. Marriage is a promise, a potential made in the hearts of two people who love each other and takes a lifetime to fulfil.

Many couples who choose to get married on the beach do it for that very reason; it’s something different. Something you and the guests you have will surely not forget. However, a destination wedding at a beach is not for everyone. You will need to consider the following pros and cons to having beach wedding.
Why a Beach Wedding is Right for You?

It’s a chance to actually spend some quality time with your guests. Depending on how the wedding is ultimately organized you might have up to 3 to 4 days with your guests before the wedding. Imagine spending several days with your family and best friends on vacation leading up to one of the most exciting days of your life.
You might save some money in the long run. It’s not always true that a destination wedding on a beach will be cheaper than a wedding at home, but it many cases it will be. Read here to get a better idea of how you can both save money and the extra expenses associated with a beach wedding.

You have freedom to make your wedding truly your own. It can be tradition, very untraditional or a little bit of both.
Why a Beach Wedding May Not be Right for You
You probably will not have as many guests at your wedding as you would at home. Not everyone will be able to take the time or have the money to spend on the trip. (If you are trying to have money, this might be a good thing). But if you have dreamed of the big wedding with hundreds of guests, you might be disappointed.
You will have to learn to be more laid back and relax about some of the details. Unless you can afford to make several trips to the location that you will be married, you will have to leave some of the details up to persons that are far away and possibly in another country. You will have to be comfortable using e-mail to plan your wedding. A destination wedding on the beach is not always stress free. Bridezillas should think twice before they undertake a beach wedding
You may have some extra tasks such as organizing extra events for guests at the wedding location.
You will have to consider the weather and have contingency plans made. If you cannot accept that you wedding location may have to change due to weather then a beach wedding may not be right for you.
But...................this is Southern California and it is usually awesome!
You Can Save Hundreds on Your Beach Wedding Reception?
Four affordable beach wedding reception choices?
Having a beach wedding reception is a unique way to celebrate a wedding! Many folks who opt for a beach wedding ceremony still opt for an indoor evening reception -- but it is possible to have a beach wedding reception, too. AND you can save hundreds of dollars if you choose one of these beach wedding reception venues:
DID YOU KNOW ... that the custom of tying shoes to the wedding couple's car bumper stems way back to Ancient Egypt? A father would give the groom his daughter’s sandal, marking that an exchange had taken place. Since shoes were considered a phallic symbol, it was also thought to promote fertility for the newlyweds, and later shoes were tied to the getaway car.
1. A public (federal or state) park or nature reserve. Many public parks have picnic shelters or overhangs that you can book or reserve to hold a special event -- and in many cases, these shelters are free, or available for a nominal fee. Some of them may even include cooking facilities.
2. Poolside. If you have a small wedding at the shore, can you book the poolside in your hotel or resort for an intimate but informal reception area?
3. There are churches all over the country, big and small, that are on a beach, or across the road from the beach. If you book your wedding in a beach-side church, you can probably book your reception there, too - sometimes at no extra cost.
4. Charter a boat to take your guests on a cruise. There are many affordable 'sunset cruise' charter boats in almost any community that has a harbor. You can often opt for the full 'sunset dinner' option, or choose just a 'dessert and coffee' cruise -- or just a cruise without the food option. Some of these companies are nicknamed 'booze cruises' because they even specialize in evening party gatherings, or beach wedding receptions!
5. Are there volleyball courts or tennis courts at the beach? Sometimes these courts are available to the public at no charge, but you may have to book them in advance.
If you want to have a unique but affordable beach wedding reception, get creative and check out some of these options! Or ... use your imagination to see what other beach wedding reception possibilities might be available!
