Your wedding is a once-in-a-blue-moon celebration, and choosing the right place to exchange your life-long vows is just as important as the memories you’ll keep after decades of tying the knot. While some couples choose to remember their special day in grandiose venues, there are still a good number of couples who prefer celebrating their matrimony privately in the company of their chosen few.
