LONDON, England -- Two Caribbean destinations – St Lucia and Antigua – appear in the list of the best overseas spots to tie the knot published by luxury long haul specialists Hayes and Jarvis.

More and more people are considering a wedding abroad as an alternative to a traditional UK-based ceremony and, aside from being cheaper on the whole than a wedding in the UK, weddings abroad can also mean virtually guaranteed good weather, and the chance to exchange vows against an idyllic beach setting.

The top five overseas venues to get hitched in include:

St Lucia

St Lucia is one of the most popular Caribbean islands and boasts miles of beautiful sugar sand beaches, ideal for a magical ceremony. This island offers plenty more besides sea and sand however, St Lucia's interior houses tall peaks decorated with lush plant life and the world's only drive-though volcano. In the evening head to Rodney Bay for a laid-back evening of great food and live music.

Antigua

Another Caribbean favourite, Antigua is famous for having a beach for every day of the year, 365 in total, creating a difficult but welcome dilemma for anyone planning to get married by the sea. Antigua embodies everything the Caribbean is about, with a laid-back pace of life, friendly locals, exciting watersports to sample, and restaurants serving locally caught seafood and freshly made fruit juices.

Rounding out the top five list are Mauritius; Sri Lanka and Las Vegas.
