Honeymoon Tips – From a Recent Bride |

When we were planning our honeymoon we had two choices. The first one was to get up the morning after our wedding and drive 5 hours to board a cruise ship for our 7 day honeymoon cruise. The second choice was to wait two weeks and then drive 3 hours, spend the night with my parents, and then the next morning drive about 2 hours to board a cruise ship for our 7 day honeymoon cruise to Half Moon Cay, Freeport and Grand Turk island.
We chose choice #2 and every day for the past 8 days (since our wedding) I have been THRILLED that is the choice we decided to do with.
We had a ‘mini’ honeymoon immediately after our wedding. Our wedding took place at the beach and we booked a hotel room the night before (just for me), the wedding night, and the night after. We chose to stay at the Turtle Cay Resort in Virginia Beach and when we checked in we learned we had been upgraded to the penthouse suite. It was gorgeous and we loved staying there. Our suite overlooked the strip and we could see the ocean from our room. It was amazing.
The reason I am so happy we decided to wait the two weeks is that we are finally getting back to our normal routines (we lived together for about a year before getting married). We spent about 4 days following the wedding just exhausted. Our house in finally back to normal – wedding gifts have been opened and put away, we have caught up on laundry, and last night we even hosted our first bbq at our house (we got to use many of our new fabulous serving pieces) we received as wedding gifts.
Homemade mexican layer dip I made using our new Rachael Ray baking dish we received as a wedding gift.
My fiance oops I mean husband and I are so looking forward to our honeymoon a week from today and waiting a bit…even if it is a few days if you can is something we highly recommend to other couples.

Have fun on your cruise! We’re also doing a cruise for our honeymoon, and in order to maintain our sanity, we’re doing the same thing you did. Our cruise departs a week after the wedding.
Congratulations blossom!

We’ll be doing a cruise too. Great rates and so much less stress!
