8. Inverlochy Castle, Fort William, Scotland
There's a reason that celebrities such as Madonna, Paul McCartney, and Pierce Brosnan have gotten married in castles- you can't help but feel like a princess. This is my favorite of the Scottish castles. When she spent a week at Inverlochy in 1873, Queen Victoria wrote "I never saw a lovelier or more romantic spot." Situated on the glens and lochs of West Highland Scotland, enjoy period decor, gourmet cuisine, and more.
9. A white sand beach on Mauritius, Indian Ocean
Imagine getting married on a white sand beach on an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. You'll spend your wedding night in an air-conditioned private bungalow with five-star luxury service. Sounds like heaven? It's Mauritius.

10. Marriage Island
San Antonio's Riverwalk is renowned for picturesque colonial architecture, beautiful trees and lovely scenery. It's especially romantic in December, when the trees are decorated with over 100,000 twinkling lights. This island in the middle of the river is a favorite spot for weddings, and has been affectionately dubbed "Marriage Island." After your wedding, enjoy a boat ride down the river.
