5. Megeve, France
For couples who prefer snow to sand, a winter wedding in the French Alps is a natural choice. With its cobblestone streets, upscale shops and world-class restaurants, Megeve is everything one would expect from a tony Alpine ski resort. Despite the plethora of high-end tourists it attracts, moderately priced hotels and family-run bed-and-breakfasts are available in addition to the luxury hotels. Cozy up underneath a blanket in the back of a horse-drawn carriage or bundle up and wander the narrow streets hand-in-hand, either way, be prepared to succumb to romance.

4. Mauritius
It's been called "the island that inspired heaven," so what better place to begin a life of heavenly wedded bliss? It's relatively remote location - 805 km east of Madagascar - has helped to preserve its pristine white-sand beaches, lush green mountains and cobalt-blue waters, but that's not to say there's any shortage of accommodations for you and your wedding guests. Luxury hotels like the Four Seasons Mauritius at Anahita are well-staffed with professionals able to assist with plans for a wedding on Mauritius from far away.

3. Maui, Hawaii
There are more than a few reasons Maui is one of the world's top honeymoon destinations, among them top-notch resorts, world-renowned surf, activities aplenty and sandy beaches ranging from white to black to red. These same traits are what make Maui such an idyllic wedding locale. Romantic moments are around nearly every bend in Maui, whether watching the sunrise atop Haleakala or simply strolling barefoot on the beach. An added bonus of tying the knot in Maui? You and your honey can just stay put for the honeymoon.

2. Las Vegas, Nevada
Despite what Hollywood would have us believe, most Las Vegas weddings are planned, well-thought out events as opposed to quickie ceremonies between people who've met mere hours before. Though more than 100,000 people choose Sin City for their weddings every year, Las Vegas is still the perfect destination for cutting-edge couples who rebuff tradition. Choose anything from an ******** ceremony on Bellagio's Terraza Di Sogna with the waters of the world-famous fountains dancing in the background to The Graceland Chapel -- site of many celebrity weddings and equipped with the capability to broadcast your wedding online for friends who can't make the trip.

1. Amalfi Coast, Italy
Imagine a wedding in a centuries-old church followed by an ******** dinner party in a tucked-away family-owned Italian restaurant, glasses clinking while wine and laughter flows. There is perhaps no place in the world more romantic than Italy and perhaps no region there more picturesque than the Amalfi coast. Perched high above the coastline, Ravello is an ancient town with spectacular vistas well-suited for sophisticates. For a more casual seaside affair, choose the tiny and stunningly beautiful town of Positano.
