Honeymoon and phone calls

shortgirltx

Where did/will you draw the line with family when it came/comes to phone calls/emails during the honeymoon?If you are already married, who called you two the most?  Who respected your wishes?  What's the 'funniest' emergency someone had when you were gone and absolutely HAD to call you?  Did you ban all technology during the HM?

I talked to my mom a little bit.  I was new to the whole sex thing and it was very painful.  TMI? lol The weirdest call was a coworker of Coltons (he worked at a jail at the time) who called and told him they had an officer who saw a man and thought he had drugs, and asked to see his bag...and found a human head.  Yeah. Fun stuff to hear on the honeymoon.I also received a text from a coworker who told me my supervisor had been fired.

I texted a little with my mom and a friend who was originally from NYC.  I emailed my mom some pictures of the Jersey side of the Hudson River (with the tag line "Hello, New Jersey!" from "You've Got Mail").  That was it for me.  Bill didn't get any calls, work or otherwise, and turned off the work email on his iPhone.  That was very difficult to Bill because he is all about work so I was very proud of him.  I didn't ban our phones though because we needed them for phone numbers and also to call places while we were in NYC.  Also, since we had iPhones, we could go on the interwebz and find things in the area that might happen to be in for lunch or something to do.

we called before we boarded our plane to thank my parents for an incredible wedding, then turned off cell phones and didn't turn them on again until we were in the car on the way home a week later!!

I will probably call from Puerto Rico on Sunday to make sure everyone got home ok and thank the parents and BFF for all they did.  Once we're on the boat though, we won't have cell phone service to that pretty much takes care of the communication issues.  We'll call once we get back in Puerto Rico the following Sunday even though we're staying over another night.

PS:  Our situation was a little different since we didn't go right after the wedding.  However, his parents and boss both called the day after the wedding.  Don't people understand the term "newlywed"?

A human head???  How lovely Jess!We can't ban all technology because FI will be on call.  Plus I'm thinking about getting him an iPhone for Christmas and it will be useful for our trip.

I think we talked to our parents twice on our honeymoon.  They might have called once...but that was it.  And I certainly didn't check e-mail during the HM.

We're not really having a "honeymoon" per say. We are going to stay in a hotel for a couple of nights, and have a big trip for our 1 year anniversary. But...during out couple of nights away, I will be calling to check on my son. I couldn't sleep well if I didn't know he was okay.

We each called our parents when we made it to our connecting flights. We never called or texted anyone but we would listen to or read what was sent to us. I did post a couple pictures from my phone on facebook and I think my mom and friends really appreciated.

We just called and let our parents know that we landed safely.  Other than that, we didn't talk to anyone until we got back home.  But we also never set up any rules as far as people calling us.  Just because they call or text doesn't mean you have to pick up or write back

I talked to my family a few times the next morning while DH was taking a 4 hour shower in the "spa" shower at the Grand Hyatt in the airport. I didn't want to but they are from Houston and had to get our dog to the sitters safely. While on the actual HM we took a calling card and talked to each one of our parents once. We were gone for a total of 9 nights so I figured that was good. I talk to my parents every single day so they really appreciated the call.

I don't know how we'll handle this for ourselves, I can imagine that we will answer calls/texts, I don't know. But, while my matron of honor was on her honeymoon, I discovered that her photographer had her pics up already, but I decided not to call. Then, when she got back and told me the pics were up, I told her I already knew and she said "well why didn't you call me!" So I guess it wasn't that big of a deal for her.

We got married on Saturday night and left for Mexico on Monday morning, very early. My dad took us to the airport so he saw us off and we saw his folks off the night before. However, when we were in Mexico we didn't take or make any calls. We did get a txt telling us that our best friends baby was born, but it was the day before we got back. I had no desire to talk to anyone that week. Luckily, we had a full day before we left to say our goodbyes and see people.

I brought my computer to submit something for work that couldn't be sent before or after the HM. We ended up both checking email and killing a little time online towards the end. I don't think we called anyone until we were flying back home. The general rule with the computer was we couldn't use it if the other person wasn't 100% ok with it. But if I was reading my book it didn't bug me if he prefered the computer over a book - as long as it was never the computer over me.
