Pre-Wedding Honeymoon...


In my last post I discussed taking some time to yourselves (groom & bride) to relieve any stress in your wedding-planning lives...well...I recommend something more extreme now. I just got back from five days in Hawaii with my fiancee - a trip I came so close to not attending! (Adam qualified for this trip through his work, otherwise Hawaii wouldn't have been an option). It was so relaxing, hot and far, far away from wedding-planning mayhem! Obviously Hawaii is a stretch due to the incredible expense that flights and accommodations cost there, but if you can find a way to go somewhere sunny and warm for a week a month before your big day, you'll be so thankful that you took my advice. You'll come home relaxed and ready to wed! We practiced our vows there and just talked about all of our thoughts and concerns regarding the big day. It's so easy to lose focus when wedding planning - often times the bride can put too much time and energy in to the details of the day instead of cherishing the reasons why you're getting married in the first place. You have to enjoy the day and in order to do that you need to stay connected to your groom. I found that really getting away was the best thing for us and we're more ready than ever to get married!
