  16. 9 months after our wedding we finally had the time (and funds) to go on our honeymoon to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! It was so beautiful, relaxing, and fun! We had the blessing of plane tickets and the use of a friend’s condo as wedding gifts. :)

  32. We went to a hotel in a neighboring town for our wedding night since we both had to be back at school for finals the next monday. But we went on a belated honeymoon (once we both finished college 1 1/2 years later) in Europe. We have friends in central France and in Vienna Austria so we stayed for 3 weeks. It was wonderful!

    we went to vancouver british columbia for our honeymoon. started off bad (crappy hotel that looked nice online but ended up having a view of a garbage pile on the roof of the building next to it and reminded us more of a place you would commit adultery in than have a honeymoon in), but after some switching of hotels we had a decent time (i also had just caught the cold that my new husband had had the week prior to the wedding).

    We went to the Smoky Mountains because we were able to drive there on short notice. We needed an “on short notice” honeymoon because the day before our wedding a hurricane hit our original destination (Ft. Meyers Beach, FL) and killed the power, running water, and airport for the time we were supposed to be there. We had a great honeymoon though, and went to Ft. Meyers a few years later on our anniversary instead.

    We did not have a honeymoon, but an idea we had was to go across the country on train. Back in the summer of 2000, we took a cross-country trip on our little 2-door Honda Civic. I would love to do that again, but in a mid-size motor home with our pack of dogs = ) They would love it, as would we = )
