Coming from an insider's point of view (I myself am getting married in November, and am planning it in Dominican Republic), it is easy to see why this is the latest craze. Why not have all your friends and family join you for not only your most important day, but also for a week of fun!?
The logistics are quite simple compared to organizing an event locally (the all-inclusive resorts handle it all!) and if you are a couple who loves to travel, it just seems to make sense.
There are drawbacks however, such as family members who may not be able to make it due to being unable to travel, age, illness, or finances, but the rewards are quite outstanding.
Many couples are even opting to bring their photographers with them! Of course, the free wedding packages at most resorts include a limited number of prints from the resort's photographer, but usually the cost of bringing your own will give you more flexibility. For example, the package with the resort photographer will only give you coverage of the ceremony. A photographer travelling with you will often give you 8 hours of coverage (or up to unlimited, depending on what you negotiate) that can be spread out over a couple of days and include your preparations, the ceremony, the reception, and even trash-the-dress (TTD) sessions!
I highly recommend checking out the option of a destination wedding. If you have any questions about it, I've been there and could certainly answer most of them and if not can at least direct you to the resources you'd need.
Happy planning! And now for a completely unrelated photo:
