Your destination wedding is the time to dream big. I mean really, really big. Celebrating your nuptials is a special occasion that you and your new spouse will never be able to reproduce, so why not go all-out? Depending on your budget, work schedule and lots of other factors, your location possibilities will vary. For the fun of it, we’re sharing an out-of-this-world wedding package and itinerary from Abercrombie & Kent.

A&K, a luxury travel company, has been around since it was founded in 1962 and has earned quite a reputation within the travel industry. In fact, booking your honeymoon through A&K could grant you possible private or exclusive access to museums, archaeological sites and cultural attractions around the world. Depending on your preference, the company has several different types of itineraries to choose from: a Luxury Small Group Journey, the finest group travel experience in the world; a Connections Journey, which combines A&K’s renowned service with unbeatable value; a Marco Polo Journey to an exotic locale or local festival; a private Signature Series itinerary; or a custom Tailor Made luxury journey created just for you.

Today we’re sharing A&K’s ultimate Luxury Tailor Made Travel itinerary. Ideal for the couple that is well traveled and can’t decide on just one wedding locale, this unforgettable experience allows you to say “I do” on all seven continents.
