It has also shown 60% of these overseas wedding will take place in Europe, 15% in the US and the remaining 25% marry elsewhere.

Thomas Cook managing director of financial services Mark Nancarrow said: “In the last few years, we’ve seen a steady increase in demand for weddings abroad. Couples are keen to secure better weather and the option of stunning venues like castles in Italy.
