A new study by Travelex shows that a record number of British couples are heading abroad to get married in a bid to avoid the spiralling costs of UK weddings. They found an increase of 15% of british couples decided on a destination wedding. That means  as many as 80,000 Brits will shun the UK in favour of a foreign wedding over the next 12 months.
