T and I have been going back and forth about our honeymoon. It's quite frustrating at times.
Do we take a nice honeymoon now, or wait a year? Do we go to a nice warm beach in Mexico, or do we go to Asheville?
NOW:
1. our priorities and goals will be different once we're married - saving for a house, paying off my car and student loans, etc.
2. enjoying the first week of wedded bliss vacationing away from the real world of atlanta
LATER:
1. it really just saves us upfront costs, so we don't have to add the expense in addition to the wedding.
2. gives us time to save (but see NOW: 1 for reasons this might be unlikely)
3. have to wait a year
MEXICO:
1. warm
2. sunny
3. beach
4. all inclusive
5. adults only
6. all inclusive
7. sort of expensive
8. have to buy plane tickets
9. have to get new passport
ASHEVILLE:
1. secluded mountain house
2. mountains
3. deck with private hot tub
4. asheville
5. probably cold
6. have to buy all food
7. less expensive
8. can drive there
What would you do?
You should take all the money for the wedding, elope instead and use the rest for a kickass honeymoon :-P
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, I think you should go now. Either that or don't start saving for a house yet (you probably shouldn't buy one in the current market anyway).
I just think that as time goes on, it'll get harder and harder to save up for what is essentially a vacation. Maybe you should just tell all the guests to give you honeymoon money instead of presents ;)
asheville! i might be biased though as i am from there and that is where my husband and i got married "). and you should do it right after the wedding. we thought about waiting a year, and then last minute found some great airfare so we left the morning after the wedding. it was so fun and kinda romantic. we were both pleased with the decision to do it sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough decision, but we'll hopefully know by Monday. The 20% off special for the place in Mexico ends the 30th. So we have to decide!
Wish us luck!
