Deciding where to have your wedding is based on more than a few things -- like religious affiliation, the guest list and the time of year, just to name a few. While it's been a tradition for couples to get married in the bride's church, nowadays weddings can be held almost anywhere a couple desire.

Indoors versus outdoors, a trendy restaurant versus a banquet hall; ideas and places are limitless.

Here are some special sites for the bride and groom's consideration:
