A wedding abroad may be just what you’ve been dreaming of, but often your friends and family are not able to make the trip abroad to see you exchange your vows.

Now, this may be exactly what you’re looking forward to, but even if you do prefer to have a low key ceremony, there’s no reason why you can’t share your ceremony with those still at home.

There are many different hi tech choices available which enable you to share your special day without asking your loved ones to travel half way round the world to see you exchange your vows. Best of all, you get to have the wedding you want but still include your family!

One option is to have a truly 21^st century wedding and hire a reputable firm to film your ceremony and stream it onto the internet. This allows friends and family to watch you get married “live” without even being there (and it’s quite a “green” option as well).

This is a great way to share your day without having to make arrangements for lots of guests, and, best of all, the ceremony can be kept online for a few days which allows everyone to watch it at their leisure. You can also burn the ceremony to dvd and have an instant wedding dvd!

Many firms offer this service, but the best way of finding one is to ask your wedding planner as they may have some local contact. Alternatively search around the area in which you’re going to get married. A local firm will have the best knowledge and expertise to make sure you look the best online on your wedding day.

Most professional photographers these days take digital photos, and many will also offer a web-based service so you can show your photos to your guests online.

This is a great option as it allows your guests to buy their favourite photos straight from the photographer, and everyone can see your wedding pictures almost immediately.
