Are you going on your honeymoon right away? no, October
If you are going on a honeymoon where are you going? Charleston, SC, Savannah, GA and Disneyworld
Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet? Nope. I plan to wear stuff that I already have.
How many days are you taking off after? Taking the Monday afterward off and we leave for our honeymoon the Friday of that week.
Are you going on your honeymoon right away? Nope, leaving the following Friday. I wanted time to spend with my family all day after the wedding, and I also only wanted to take 5 days off work for it. So we had to leave on a weekend.
If you are going on a honeymoon where are you going? Sandals La Toc in St. Lucia!
Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet? Well I bought a bunch of dresses for dinner there, and I have new bathing suits. And I bought some new shorts and a skirt for this summer, but not honeymoon specific. I still need to lingerie shop...
How many days are you taking off after? just 1 day
Are you going on your honeymoon right away? No, we are going two weeks after because FI's best friend was supposed to get married the week after us. The wedding got cancelled but then my friend is getting married that weekend so we decided to keep our plan of going away 2 weeks later and attend my friend's wedding.
If you are going on a honeymoon where are you going? Bali (Indonesia). I love southeast asia, but have never been to Bali so I'm super excited. Two weeks in paradise!
Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet? Well not anything naughty, but I bought a sarong and a few other items I'll need. I really need to update my summer wardrobe though.
How many days are you taking off before the wedding? Just 1
How many days are you taking off after? 10 days!

Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet? Bought a few things, hoping to get some sexy lingere from my shower this weekend! I want a couple cute maxi dresses and maybe a new suit!
How many days are you taking off after? We get back from our honeymoon at like 11pm on August 7th. I will probably sleep in the next morning and work a half day the 8th to catch up on stuff.
Are you going on your honeymoon right away? yes, pretty much. We are doing a morning after brunch on the 29th, then are heading to a suite at a hotel by the airport that afternoon. Our flight is at 6am the next morning.
If you are going on a honeymoon where are you going? Zoetry Paraiso on the Riviera Maya in Mexico
Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet? Yes, I shop too much!!!
I'm taking off the whole week before the wedding. Originally was just going to do W, Th, F, but our firm is having our Summer Outing on Monday at the country club, so it doesn't make sense for me to only come in on Tuesday. So I'm just skipping the outing and heading to Philly that Sunday.
How many days are you taking off after?
Two weeks.
Are you going on your honeymoon right away?
We're leaving on the Monday following our Saturday wedding. My mom is driving us back to NYC on Sunday night and we leave Monday morning at 11am from JFK!
If you are going on a honeymoon where are you going?
We're going to Mauritius for a week then one night in Johannesburg, then 5 days on safari in South Africa. I really, truly cannot wait.
We're thinking of switching our hotel in Mauritius from the One & Only (clicky) to The Oberoi (clicky) because we're reading a lot of reviews that say there are a bunch of kids at the One & Only and that is NOT the type of honeymoon we want. It would probably cost us about $2000 extra since we'll lose the deposit and half-board isn't included at the Oberoi, but we'll probably do it anyway.
You only get one honeymoon, right?
Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet?
Ugh, no. I really am not looking forward to it, either, because I have to buy safari gear and I will NEVER, EVER wear this stuff again. I am not a beige kind of gal - most of my clothes are black/grey and those aren't appropriate for safari. It attracts flies or bugs or something.
For Mauritius I'll just need beach wear and I have plenty of that already. I did just buy a new Vix swimsuit though but that was mostly for bachelorette party purposes
How many days are you taking off after? 10
Are you going on your honeymoon right away? yes we get married friday and leave monday
If you are going on a honeymoon where are you going? Aruba
Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet? I bought a couple of dresses and 4 new bathing suits. I need to get some shirts, shorts and capris. I still need to buy some bathing suit cover ups and some lingerie.
How many days are you taking off after? Same, about a month before we have to go back to school (although I have to do some trainings in August-- unsure of exact dates).
Are you going on your honeymoon right away? No, FI is a teacher, too, and he has to go to a conference about a week after the wedding.
If you are going on a honeymoon where are you going? Nowhere planned. We'd like to do a nice long weekend somewhere and save up for a big trip for next summer.
Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet? No, sadly.
We're leaving three days after for the HM. St. Lucia!!
And I've been shopping like a mad woman for HM clothes!! (Let me clarify... I do more shopping than I should a lot... but, I'm justifying it now by: Well, I can wear this on the HM.)
Anxiously awaiting baby #1! Baby BOY Due: May 30, 2013!

If you are going on a honeymoon where are you going? Undecided. Maybe PR or Bahamas... any suggestions???
Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet? Yes, started today during my lunch break
[QUOTE]mbody - My MOH and BFF/former roommate is a school counselor!! I feel like you guys are few and far between so I always get excited when I find another one, haha. She is at an elementary school here in Indianapolis, she absolutely loves it! she is always taking random groups of children on different outings/trips that remind me of your Maggiano's experience you posted about a few weeks ago!

Oh how fun!!! Here in Chi, school counseling jobs are SO HARD to find. I'm working in a high school career center helping students with post-secondary planning. It's fun- I'm in my fourth year of doing that. My position isn't technically a 'counseling' job, although I graduated w/ my Masters in School Counseling three years ago. And, basically you need a counseling degree to do it. It's confusing how certain school districts classify jobs. I don't even know if that all makes sense.
Anxiously awaiting baby #1! Baby BOY Due: May 30, 2013!
How many days are you taking off after? 5

Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet? not really. i bought a fancy dress for the captains dinner, but thats about it. Really need some new bathing suits.
Most of my MOH's friends from her master's classes are jobless, it's really sad!! She was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, and she had lots of connections at the school where she ended up getting hired.
How many days are you taking off after? 6 days
Are you going on your honeymoon right away? Yes, the wedding is on Saturday
and we're leaving Sunday morning.
If you are going on a honeymoon where are you going? Just to a cabin in WI. We're
from Sunday to Saturday & doing a family-moon (bringing all 5 of our kids ranging in ages from 11-22). We'll do famiy cabin type stuff - lounging, games, fishing,
boating.
Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet? Nope, don't really need
to. My shopping will revolve more around meat to grill, s'more stuff, making
sure we have enough beach towels. etc.
A lot of the girls I went through grad school don't have anything in education yet. I'm probably the closest to a 'counseling' job.
But, I work at the high school with my best friend/MOH and FI. I actually met FI through her. Then, this is my first year at this high school. I was doing the same thing at another high school for the three years prior. So, we make it fun. And, I actually eat lunch with my FI every other day (We're on a block schedule) so, yeah.. haha.

How many days are you taking off after? - Technically I'll have the rest of August off, but we'll be on our HM for a little over 2 weeks. I just got a school library job so I'll be going into the schools a bunch of times after we get home to setup and see if there's anything I need to put on order.

Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet? - Yep.. I only shop sales because our budget is so tight, so I've gotten little things over the past few months. I just ordered some new bathing suits, too. I only really need to get a ton of sunscreen and water shoes (we're doing lots of kayaking).
I'm looking forward to the honeymoon way more than the wedding. I've never been one for being the center of attention or dressing in fancy gowns.

Have you started to shop for honeymoon clothes yet? Nope. I've been too busy to shop for the HM, though I love to shop. I just have one dress specifically for the HM so far and another from my first shower that I'll bring. Need to find bathing suits and coverups and shorts and more dresses. A lot of my summer clothes don't fit because I've lost 15 pounds in the last 2 years and last summer wasn't really sure if the weight would stay off.
ETA: Oh right I bought some lingerie and sleep shorts too when I was at the outlets. I guess I just need more day-wear.

Like I said in the last question, we are staying on the island where our wedding will be. It is an island on Coastal Georgia called Jekyll Island. It was where the old millionaires of the United States went to get away. I mean people like the Rockefellars, Carnigies, Firestones, Macys. Yeah, those people. They started the Jekyll Island club which is now a hotel on the island. We wanted to stay there, but it is really expensive so we are going with our usual hotel.
