Josh and I didn’t have a
honeymoon. Now before you start thinking, “that’s sad” or “bummer,” there is a
very good reason. My company sent us on an all-inclusive vacation 2 weeks
before we said “I do.” Amazing right?
It was one of 2 vacations
my company sent us on in the last year and it was incredible. The first trip
was to Cancun where our CEO rented the entire Fiesta Americana, it was gorgeous
and so much fun! This time our CEO rented an entire cruise ship and filled it
with my colleagues to take us cruising through the Caribbean. We stopped in
Nassau, Bahamas and one of the cruise ships private islands.
Going on vacation 2 weeks
prior to your wedding is quite the experience.
If you are looking for a
stress break before your big day, this is the way to go. We were out of the
country and had no contact with vendors or guests. It forced us to relax and
just enjoy our time together.
On the other hand, we were
out of the country with no contact with our vendors which can be even more
stressful!
Looking back on our
experience, I am thrilled we were gone for that week. People will always tell
you to try and not make every conversation with your spouse about the wedding,
and set aside time to just connect as a couple but that is easier said than
done. By removing ourselves from the ability to work on the wedding it really
helped us to enjoy the last two weeks leading up to wedding.
We developed a motto, “if
it wasn’t done before the Bahamas, it isn’t getting done.” I loved it because
it made us focus on the important things and the little details didn’t seem so
huge anymore.
So who knows, maybe this
is something you would do too. Maybe not, but it is something to consider.
