Some friends of mine recently got engaged. At the immediate post-announcement drinks, I think the main thrust of what everyone was saying was:

“Congratulations how are you going to find a venue and cover all the costs.”

A little depressing. This here economic climate seems to be touching all areas of life, no matter who you are or what you might be doing (or marrying).

What we’re offering you at http://en.homeforhome.com in terms of weddings, might not be for everyone. Some people spend their lives dreaming of that one day where they adorn themselves in a white dress (or top hat and tails), skip down the aisle and celebrate their love with a a priest and a massive congregation of their friends and family. To be followed with a gigantic dinner and party and a band.

If that is your dream and your wedding plans have been hampered by the credit crunch crisis, then maybe it’s best to ride out these old hardy years and hold on until the ships of prosperity come sailing in.

BUT. If you’re not hung up on a precious and expensive white wedding, then there are plenty of options open to you if you want to get married in year 2009.

You can do home swaps all around the world, and as at homeforhome we currently have a large number of homes available for swapping, your destination options are very broad.

Eloping can be very romantic. It can take the stress out of the wedding and replace it with intimacy. It’s a very beautiful option for people who are looking for something different.

You can have a wonderfully chimerical private wedding in an idyllic location, and enjoy the precious moments of a holiday together in a very intimate, private and special homely environment.

Homeswap. Elope. Have the time of your life.
