getting lots done!

jenniferacampbell

Hey ladies!  Even though our wedding isn't until May 25, 2012, I am getting a lot checked off my list.  I am so excited because getting all of this done now means i won't procrastinate (like I usually do) and stress out!!!  Whew!  it is a good feeling.  Anyways, my next task is planning out our honeymoon--anyone have any ideas.  we are thinking Hawaii, but not 100% set on this.  Let me know what ya'll think.  Happy planning and congrats to all of you!

FI and I are planning ours too. We thought we wanted Sandals Grande Antigua, but now we are really leaning towards Majestic Elegance in the Dominican Republic!

Awesome on getting stuff done!  I look at it this way, if I get a lot of my planning out of the way:  A)I won't be super stressed about that stuff close to my wedding day  I have way more time to work on the small details that are really going to make my wedding amazing!!



Personally for a honeymoon, I would say go to an all inclusive resort they are amazing and they are the only way FI and I vacation when in the Caribbean.  I've never been to Hawaii though, FI and I never really had the urge to go, because it is so expensive to fly there, a year or two ago the flights to Hawaii from VA were around $1000-$1500 a person for coach, I can't imagine what they are now!

I'm probably going to go to Jamaica, if not Jamaica then we will go to Tahiti (and here I am talking about expensive flights to Hawaii lol)

We are definitely going to the Caribbean to an all inclusive resort for our HM, just not sure which island yet

I think having a longer engagement is better, you have more time to plan, plus you are an engaged couple for a while. I like being engaged and I think it's an important step in a relationship.

That is so true!  I come from a military family and my fiance is in the military...everyone around here elopes at 18 three days after they get engaged and then do a vow renewal a year later.  I'm 21 and in the military world, I'm an old woman!  I should be married with two kids by now!

Long engagements are best! =]

Yes, more time to plan the day the way you want it without stressing last minute!

I agree. It gives you more time to make sure things are the way you want them.

I agree with everyone else- longer engagements are the way to go! It's way less stress and you have a better chance of getting the vendors and wedding you want since you have so long to plan  

FI and I are doing a Caribbean cruise with stops in the Bahamas, St. Marteen, and St. Thomas. 

We also considered Hawaii and St. Lucia.  Let us know what you decide!

We are going to Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea I'm super excited!

justanotherbride - this is where we are looking to go!  do you have the details planned already?

No, this is acutally FI's job. He is supposed to plan the honeymoon.. I think I might have my boss' travel agent give him a call though
