We went to St Lucia for 10 days and stayed at Windjammer Landing with our own private plunge pool It was the best.
We were married on a Saturday floowed by a brunch reception which was over at 4:00pm went home, opened the gifts, and took a limo to an airport hotel. Left 7:00am on Sunday.

Originally I was thinking of the Caribbean and/or Hawaii. But, two close friends who were travel agents suggested doing the California Coast along Pacific Coast Highway instead. I never would have thought of it. But, as we got married in August, there were no worries of hurricanes, shorter flight times, and fabulous weather.

We left the morning after our wedding and went for 18 days. We began our trip in Los Angeles, stayed in Beverly Hills, even went to Disneyland. Worked our way up through Santa Barbara, Big Sur, Carmel, San Francisco and finally, the Napa Valley. We stayed at some of the most fabulous places along the way; Beverly Hills Hotel, Ventana Inn, The Fairmont, Auberge du Soleil. It was the most beautiful, relaxing and very romantic trip.

We really wanted to go to Tahiti, but it was really expensive (we paid for our wedding by ourselves, so an expensive honeymoon wasn't in the cards). Then we were down to two choices, and all inclusive resort at St. Lucia (I think it was Couples) or a condo at Marco Island FL where a friend of mine had honeymooned. St. Lucia ended up to expensive to get to (the actually vacation part would have been comparable), so we went to Marco Island for 5 days, then drove to Orlando and went to Epcot for a day (stayed at a Embassy Suites on I-drive). We learned that we are not beach people. We went deep sea fishing one day, drove to the Everglades one day, and were bored 2 days

Yes, I guess golf was not very romantic Shannon

I dunno - rumor has it there was a lot of "Fore" being yelled by the two of you.....

Ooooh, this sounds lovely! We hope to do this someday!

I love this thread, its taking me to places that I want to go before I die!!!

We flew to Miami and drove to Key West for about 5 nights, and then the last two nights, we drove up to visit my favorite aunt and uncle in Vero Beach and went out on my Uncle's boat. Key west was a lot of fun, but it was hard to relax after the wedding. Seeing my aunt and uncle at the end was great because unfortunately they passed away a year later and that time we spent with them was wonderful. They were wild and crazy and always showed us a great time.

DH was in the Navy, so we had limited time. We went to Niagara Falls and Toronto.

Our wedding was on a Saturday night and the reception didn't end until very late. On Sunday there was a small brunch at my in-laws house. We left for our honeymoon on Sunday. We went to Hawaii. We spent one night in San Fransisco on our way then we went to Oahu for one night so we could see Pearl Harbour. After that we went to Maui and Kauai for 5 or 6 nights each. It was so beautiful there and I would love to go back some day.

We did WDW for 10 days and had a fantastic time. Stayed at the Wilderness Lodge, and left the morning after our wedding ceremony.

We spent our wedding night at the house DH was renting. We figured none of our friends would think to look for us there.

The next day, we visited MIL and my parents and my brother and SIL drove us to Philadelphia (where they lived.) We took them to Ralph's for dinner in the Italian Market and then they dropped us off at the airport hotel. Monday, we left for 12 days in Grand Cayman. It was wonderful, but we could have come home after about 6 nights. It was too much of the same thing, day after day. For a change of scenery, we started laying out by the pool instead of on the beach.

After 10 years, we'd love to go back... but WDW keeps calling louder.

I love all these honeymoon stories, little and large, romantic or queasy ...seems like even if the marriage didn't make it people still remember their honeymoons fondly.

But to answer your question, yes, that is why Ethel asked....

That is NOT why she asked! Fred and I are in preliminary negotiations...

Pam ...yes I think "golf" was some secret code of theirs.

We got married, after living together for about 1 1/2 years, by the town mayor, who I swear was a little bit tipsy, but what the heck, it was a Friday afternoon.

We spent the weekend at the Trump Plaza in the honeymoon suite. It was a gorgeous suite! We had a great dinner in the Edwardian Room, which is now called something else. We spent the weekend taking in the sights of New York, even though I worked in the City at the time. Spent some time at the top of the World Trade Tower and visited South Street Seaport.

We didn't have our reception until a month later because my bride's father had just had hip surgery before the wedding and we wanted to wait until he felt better.

The marriage didn't last but I have good memories about the time we spent togther.

We went to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. 9 days 1500 miles of driving.

What honeymoon?

I was nine months pregnant, due anyday. I guess if you call the trip we took to the local splash park our honeymoon they hey go for it!

No seriously, DH and I have never had a honeymoon. We go to Disney every year. But I know that does not count. I think we should get on that, but then again we got married six years ago.

Sigh..... my dream vacation (well and an Alaskan Cruise, too!)

 

[Disney Doll]

A week at Disneyworld in the Beach Club and then another 3 days in Cocoa Beach, in a hotel right on the beach.

 

[Bill3]

I don't think so!

 

[castlegazer]

two weeks and to think of a two week vacation alone makes me long for the days before children, well until I get home tonight and get that special hug from my DS as I walk in the door.

First week we spent on the Grand Princess and had the best vacation I have ever had. The second week we spent at my condo in Cocoa Beach - it was a great way to relax completely after a week long cruise and to detox from the food overload.

We left right from the reception - the whole bit with flying rice and everything - got in the limo and went to the airport hotel for the night as we had a 7 am flight down to Ft. Lauderdale that next day. My parents on the other hand had all of our out-of-town guests over for a brunch on Sunday while we were flying down to get on the ship. We saw photos and it looked like a great time - but then we were sitting in deck chairs having the first of many Pina Coladas.... a much better time.

We were married Saturday January 1, 2000. Yep Y2K and all. It was winter so we each wanted a warm location. I had exactly 1 week until I had to be back for Spring Semester at law school. So we decided on a cruise since neither of us had been on one. We wanted the caribbean.

The problem was that most ships left on Sunday so the only way to get to Floriday by Sunday was to take the red-eye. So we left our wedding reception by 11:15pm (we hear it went on until about 12:30am) and headed to the airport for a 12:45am flight. We got on the plane in nice clothes and managed to change into sweatsuits somewhere at 35,000 feet. We had a layover in Houston and arrived in Ft. Lauderdale by morning. We headed straight to the ship. I still have perfect wedding hair in our boarding picture, pearls and all in the hair. Our luggage did not arrive before the ship left so we headed up to deck still with wedding hair and saw the ship off.

Afterward my new DH helped me take it down and we counted over 100 bobby and hair pins (I have very very thick hair) We were exhausted but elated to be married and on a ship with no phone!!

Many moons ago my new DH and I spent our honeymoon at WDW. We are definitely not "sit on the beach" kind of people. DH had never been to WDW and only to Disneyland once as a kid. We got married on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in May, spent the night at a nice local sheraton, had bkfst in bed, went to my folks house to drop off the gown and tux and to open a few gifts then flew out of Boston/Logan that afternoon. Arrived in Orlando about 8pm. Stayed at CBR. They didn't have our King bed room available when we arrived (as we had been promised), but we were switched the next day.

We had a terrific trip (7 days if I recall). Didn't take it commando at all. Really relaxed and saw a lot. Wish we had taken more pictures (was I really that thin?!) Parks crowds were extremely light, weather was perfect, not too hot or humid. Sun every minute of every day! It was wonderful!...........................P
