The Honeymoon

I know a lot of couples struggle with what to do for their honeymoon...

• Should we take a big trip and go somewhere out of the country?
• Should we take a road trip and stay a little closer to home?
• Do we do take our honeymoon right after the wedding...or wait until later?
• Do we even need to go on a honeymoon?

I know my wife and I struggled with these questions as we thought about what we wanted to do for our honeymoon. As we were discussing this with my parents, my dad gave me a piece of wisdom that I still remember very clearly.

"You only have one chance in your life to take a honeymoon...if you wait and do it later- it's just a vacation."


My wife and I were considering a weekend trip to our family cabin near Shell Lake, WI...but after listening to others, we decided to plan a trip to Aruba for our honeymoon. I think we made the right decision.

Our wedding was in August...and we knew that we wanted to go somewhere warm. We had gone on vacations together, but we never went somewhere warm.

I called our travel agent to discuss different honeymoon options. A big reason we chose Aruba was that it is outside of the hurricane belt. This is something I would have never considered on my own...and am glad our travel agent knew her stuff!

In my next post, I will highlight a great travel agency that is a member in the Central Minnesota Wedding Association and is GREAT to work with when planning your honeymoon.
