Glamourous fabulous secret wedding location possibilities please

[sassari]

have changed my name to protect the guilty, b/c my dp and i are going to sneak off for a secret wedding taking only one couple (good friends) with us for witnesses. we will leave all my family, his parents (he has no other family to speak of) and even our dc at home... and tell no-one till we return. at least this way, we will universally snub everyone so no individual can feel picked on

anyway, we're happy with that part, but what im posting for is to get suggestions of where. italy for eg has fabulous locations and paperwork is easy enough to sort out. france, not a possibility as you need to be resident for 2 months or something...NY a possibility... cheeze-meister beach weddings prob a no-no (like the tropics idea but dont want to be surrounded by indifferent holidaymakers gawping)

i want as glamourous/exciting/adventurous/beautiful/amazing ideas as anyone can muster... money almost no object (!)

so; any ideas??

wonder what Cuba is like?

cuba eh?

i like that! thats just the sort of suggestion im after.... something abit special/different/interesting

ta CG

Casole d'elsa in tuscany!

When we lived there I organised a wedding as we had a restaurant and the couple had the reception there.

Beautiful place. Fly to Florence and hire a car- bout an hour.

Stay in a beautiful agriturismo called Erta which is only 10 mins away.

Voila!

How exciting!!

cuba could be quite basic I should think but def different!

Is there a posh canary Island?

Do you not fancy Italy?

i do fancy italy, gorgonzola... i just want to be sure theres not some other exciting place i want to do it b4 i book... italy a v 'safe' choice iyswim - fantastic food, scenery, v v romantic etc... will prob end up there, but cant help wondering about other options b4 deciding.

justr found this website look at some of the review of weddings people had at resorts in the carribbean! poor things

scilily, greek islands?????

My BIL got married at Banff in Canada on xmas eve and it was beautiful.
Well it looked it from the pictures anyway
Gorgeous scenery, beautiful hotel and they had an amazing honeymoon skiing after.

all good suggestions.... thx and keep em coming.

Cyprus, seems a lot get married there, beautiful place.

PONCEY! i should ahve said ; i want ponce-tastic wedding ideas

(forgetting the proper mn lingo, silly ole me )

have found many a pncetastic italian wedding site...

what about, i dunno, montecarlo or summat. anyone done it there?

oo montecarlo sounds yummy - what about Andorra in the winter if skiing is your thing?

the best of the best

Beetroot - wow, heaven.............

Don't know how easy it is but how about the ice hotel? Then you sleep on firs on a bed made of ice

actually snowmum, that ice hotel was one of the suggestions my friend made... i really want to go there, but not sure sleeping on ice is the most conducive environment for lurrrrve, if you get my drift?!

beety - wow. am scanning website now.

We got married in Florence (through Weddingsabroad.com) now I do love Italy but it was totally amazing .. we have the most amazing wedding pictures .. not cheesy at all ..

here have a look through these and see what takes your fancy

I've been to Cuba (about 9 years ago to be fair) and loved it but really wouldn't suggest getting married there

thanks twig.

why not about cuba btw?

looking through your site in a mo...

well apart from in the hotels its quite a deprived country with much rationing

we stayed for a week at Hotel Nacional in Havana (fabulous throw-back to the height of the 1950's and Hollywood star memorabilia everywhere) .. and when we went out it was impossible to eat (1 fly infested sandwich in a bar .. a very bad tinned version of heinz spaghetti for pasta and tomato sauce in a restaurant)

the holiday-makers areas are like special not in this country places (like in Africa)

I just don't think its the kind of experience that sits well with weddings .. although I do think its a great country to visit

fair do's. sounds like v sound advice to me, ta.

I have a friend that went to the Ice Hotel and she said that it is actually really nice on the ice beds, and not at all cold under the covers - just makes you snuggle up more

What about Castle Leslie in Ireland or Skibo Castle in Scotland, .

are they places where cheezy slebs get married skribble? (the wink says we're supposed to know them...)
