My sister was getting married shortly after us and we couldn't afford two separate trips. So, we spent our "honeymoon" in a motorhome with my parents. :rofl:

Maui!

....and...AND... we stayed at The Four Seasons. It's where I fell in love with the whole indoor/outdoor combo.

We were poor, and I was very frugal and practical. We spent one night in a hotel, then went back to our crappy apartment, including our two roommates.😡

It is one of the few times I regret not spending money.

We went on a 4 days cruise to the Bahamas and then spent 3 days in Orlando. He was sick for the whole first half (stomach virus, not sea sick) and I had my period for the second half. It was super romantic.

I have stayed at Turtle Bay but not the resort, we stayed in a condo. We sneaked into the resort and were using their hot tub, and got talked to and then escorted out by security people who noticed we didn't have resort towels. It was funny, we pretended they had warrants out for our arrest after that.

Brigit...we also honeymooned on Maui and had our wedding dinner at the Four Seasons! Wow, that place is freaking IN-CRED-IBLE!!!!

We didn't stay there, it was just recommended as the best dinner in town when we asked around so that's where we booked it. It was literally the best meal I've ever had. We stayed at the Sheraton at Kaanapali which was really amazing, and we had our small ceremony on the grounds there. Then we spent a whole other two weeks, one in a huge ocean front rented house on the north shore on Oahu....the other in a rented house in Kailua Beach on Oahu. Best .... trip ... EVER!!

We planned a week of hiking around a high mountain. My wife knew hated city smog and wanted to show off the mountains. After a terrifying bus trip up the mountain, a typhoon approached and our hotel closed just before we checked in. They sent us back to the bus and a scary ride back down the mountain. Didn't seem like a good start.
At the bottom of the mountain, late afternoon, in a small town, with no hotel reservation. She suggested a 'love hotel', rent by the hour, we spent the night. Great finish to a very short honeymoon.

I love this. If I ever get married again, this is what I would want to do.

ETA: When I got married, I wanted to go on a tropical jaunt, but my now-XH insisted that we go to Bar Harbor (which was lovely), and then go to Nova Scotia to meet his extended family. So I spent most of my honeymoon with his family, with all of whom he had a massive falling out not too long after. I've not talked to or seen any of them since the honeymoon. It's a shame. They were much nicer than my in-laws.

Wedding Mo. 1- Spent five blissful days in a friend's lakeside cabin up in Northern North Dakota near the Canadian border (Lake Bottineau) in mid-September.

Did a lot of hiking by day and "recreating" at night!

Wedding No. 2 - Spent a week at a swanky resort in Cancun with my RSXW ~ during her "pre-skank" days. It was like a land cruise in that we were seemingly eating all of the time. The ocean water was crystal clear and the fish were absolutely beautiful!

I've posted this before..

Had a big wedding, thought we'd wing our Honey Moon...after seeing a commercial on TV.. drove to Oglebay, West Virginia the next day after opening all our presents & thousands in cash...

We hung out at the Oglebay Zoo... took some pictures, I'm holding a large duck in one, not sure how I managed to pick it up... beautiful day.... Don't laugh or ask me why we did this, but we ended up driving back home.. not even staying a night.. thought the prices were too high (Yeah we were a bit cheap back then!)...wanting to save every dime for our down payment on a country House...

Always felt bad about this.. so we ended up going back there when we had our 4th son... Husband had a better job by then...we had our house...so we hauled all those kids up in the car...& told them we were taking them on our long lost Honey Moon!!

It's a ridiculous story.. but it's ours.. Our Wedding day was so perfect... it flew!.... we were riding on cloud 9..... I don't think we missed the Honeymoon at all...we were on it no matter where we were, even back home in our little house on the hill...
