    Holy cr@p with the yelling. Caps are yelling on the Internet, so please save the caps lock for actual emergencies. As Cove said, find a travel agent to assist you (there are many who specialize in destination weddings), and check out the Knot's Destination Weddings board as well for ideas.

    You might want to narrow it down to where you want to go first.  Hawaii, California, Mexico, Puerto Rico, etc.etc.   I'm sure there are tons of travel agents who can help you plan the whole thing, but you should have an idea of where you want to be.

    My fi and I are planning a destination wedding as well. The first thing you really must do is find a reputable travel agent. It will make all the different in the world. We have planned quite a few through ours. So, we know she does a great job and even handled a group of 25 + people this past March. After that plan out the little things, but in all honesty your travel agent should do most of the work.

    Best of Luck.
