August 2012 Weddings

Honeymoon ideas for August??

Hi everybody! My  name is Alejandra and I'm getting married on August 3rd in Houston, Texas. Fortunately, I have a lot done (Venue, Photographers, Videographer, DJ, dress, bridesmaids dresses...) but I'm now trying to think about ideas for a honeymoon... We were thinking on a Caribbean vacation but I'm afraid it will be hurricaine season... anybody else with that concern?? Any options for this time of year?

Re: Honeymoon ideas for August??

  • We are doing a caribbean cruise...we were told not to worry about hurricane season, because the cruise will just re-route and go to the opposite side of the caribbean if there is a hurricane.

    Also, get insurance.

  • We're going to Cabo.  We were too nervous about the weather during hurricane season!

  • We're going to Jamaica after our August 4th wedding and buying travel insurance!  We were also told not to worry about hurricanes and just buy the insurance.  It's only $100 and worth it IMHO. 

    If you're still deterred by hurricanes, consider St. Lucia...hurricanes are very rare there due to the warmer waters. 
  • My fiance and I were thinking of St Lucia too- we are getting married at the end of August...
  • I would go where you want but just get the insurance that way if there is a hurricane you wont be out the money.

  • We are getting married August 4th.  And August 6th, we will be on a Western Caribbean cruise!

    Check out some of the cruise lines.

  • I'm going completely opposite. 

    We are headed to England and Scotland for our honeymoon. 

    I've heard great things about Aruba, my mom vacations there all the time.

  • ARUBA!! We got engaged there and are going back August 5th to the 12th!
  • We are getting married at the end of August, but we won't be leaving for our honeymoon until middle of September. Going to the Cayman islands :)

  • We're headed for Bermuda, it's still warm but outside the hurricane zone.
  • Complete opposite -- my fiance and I aren't much of beach people -- so we are going on an Alaskan cruise!
  • edited February 2012
    Haha, we're actually getting married in Alaska, so we're going to Bermuda as a contrast!
  • my fiance and i were worried about hurricane season also.... we are getting married the end of august & decided to go with st. lucia for our honeymoon destination .....  supposedly hurricanes rarely hit there.....  
    also i heard aruba and curaco are rarely affected by hurricanes.
    if you have more than a week and dont mind a long flight, try bora bora!!!
