Where do you guys plan to honeymoon (if you are planning to)? Especially since our future husbands/wives can't leave the states...I really don't know where we would go. I know that if we put if off, we'll end up not going because we are thinking about having kids as soon as we can. I was thinking may be a resort in FL or rent a studio there...or may be going on a cruise. Or even go to NY and stay in a hotel next to Niagara Falls...Let's share our ideas. This is mostly for K1 members but i would love to know what already married members did...

I think we will have our 'honeymoon' when we return to the Philippines and get married there. Between all the great places to go to in the Philippines and all the great Scottish golf courses I figure we should be on the holiday for a couple of years. Thank God I won the lottery :D

The Florida Keys are nice :)

We haven't really discussed a honeymoon much. There are three kids to consider as well as money issues. I'll be thrilled enough to just be his wife finally not to mention having him by my side every single day! I'll try my best to make every day be a honeymoon for him.

I hope you have a wonderful time no matter where you choose to go!

For our first little honeymoon we flew to Bahir Dar, stayed there a few days and did some touristy stuff. Mainly, Nani wanted to fly some place as she's never been on a plane before. We had a nice suite in Bahir Dar and enjoyed some awsome scenery around Lake Tana and the Blue Nile Falls. It was rather short but very nice.

I was just joking. I was referring to a comment in another post about my large tax return this year. I made an over-estimate on my tax liability so will end up getting back a large sum and someone commented that I thought I had won the lottery :lol:

My husband was here two weeks when we flew to Vegas to get married. He was fascinated by all the lights and excitement. The best memory I have of him in Vegas is him singing karaoke at Fat Daddy’s. We had a blast. We had so much fun that we went back for this past new years and he was blown away by all the fireworks. He has truly fallen in love with Vegas, so now we are planning an August trip for his Birthday.

For our one year anniversary we took a seven day cruise to the western Caribbean. He did not have his green card yet so we had to apply for an advance parole. Initially we were worried that they would give us a hard time but everything went extremely well.
