All Inclusive is a wonderful thing........bring on the Vodka or and Sangria.

nowhere of any note this year, sadly. going to have a series of staycations thanks to spending all of our savings and then some on a new house.

am going to ibiza for a wedding in may but other than that, nothing more than the odd weekend in france and italy. nothing expensive - and certainly no long hauls with the bairn

I've got a couple of weddings in Spain and Portugal, pain in the balls.

I had 4 weddings last year and none this year so far...YAY.  One big birhtday do in March which requires 4 different fancy dress outfits!

I am not a fan of all inclusive as your money goes to the tour operators and not the local businesses.

Nowhere yet, but hoping to go somewhere in Europe for a few days in the summer.

seems to be the trendy thing to do doesn't it. it's an expensive game once you factor in the additional few hundred quid you have to shell aside for the fucking weekend long stag do in europe somewhere. i swear ive spent as much on mates' weddings the last few years as i have on holidays for just me and the mrs.

hard not to go when it's a close mate though innit.

it just seems expectations on weddings have gone up massively in the past few years. the first mate in our group to get hitched had a stag night out in london. that's a rarity now. the last 7 or 8 i've been to have all been weekenders around europe - then you've got an additional night out in london for thsoe that missed the main event, that most people go to anarl. not that i'm complaining too much like given the paucity of boys' nights out i get to these days. combine that with the increasing number of overseas weddings these days too though and you're looking at a not inconsiderable bank raid.

i'm all for the stag weekend jollies away if i'm honest. the weddings in ibiza and mallorca can do one though. not sure i'd get away with going to the stag then fucking off the wedding mind...

Massively!

Me and the missus got a couple of weekend breaks as Christmas pressies, all around the countryside. Should be nice to get a break.

Aside from that, Vegas for 3nights in May with a group of 20+ and hopefully a sun holiday in Costa Del Sol with the kids in September.

Well one of the weddings is my sister's so kind of difficult to get out of that, the other is one of my best mates so again it's hard to get out of.


IMO if you're going to get married abroad then fuck off somewhere thousands of miles away where the rest of us aren't expected to go.
