解答

意味：
英辞郎によると、

リゾート婚◆リゾート地で行う結婚式。

上記の訳は間違っているわけではないが、下記の英語の定義は「伝統的には、destination weddingとは、挙式または披露宴が結婚するカップルの住んでいる地域以外のところで行われる」とのことです。

 

Answer

According to The Knot:

Traditionally, though, a destination wedding is a ceremony and/or reception that's held outside of the couple's hometown, which requires travel for most (if not all) of those involved.

 

Examples

1. It's nearly impossible to create one, concise destination wedding definition because it looks different for every couple.
2. According to The Knot 2025 Real Weddings Study, which surveyed nearly 17,000 recently married couples, destination weddings are somewhat common these days.
3. The Caribbean islands, Mexico, and the Bahamas are among the most popular wedding destinations, though couples have endless options when it comes to locale.
4. A big part of what makes something a ‘destination wedding’ is the randomness of the location.
5. The sun setting over lapping ocean waves or behind the Eiffel Tower as you say “I do” to your beloved sounds downright magical. But a far-away wedding locale isn’t for every couple. Read on to discover whether a destination wedding is right for you.
