Planning a wedding and a honeymoon can be very stressful. I am so looking forward to my wedding, but I am also looking forward to the end of all the planning. What to wear, who sits where, what kind of flowers, cake, meal, it all can be very overwhelming. Fortunately for me my soon to be husband is a wonderful help and has been by my side through all the planning and decision making. I really want everything to be perfect and his response to me is as long as I am getting to marry you, then nothing can be more perfect. I really love him for that. Most of the arrangements are done, but we have yet to decide on our honeymoon. We are both a little concerned about traveling overseas. We are not sure how American's will be treated in the different regions of the world, so we have definitely decided to stay in the US. My fiancee loves wine tours and I love the beach, so we are thinking about a 3 week honeymoon in California. We will spend sometime seeing all the touristy things, you know LA and shopping on Rodeo Drive (well, maybe window shopping LOL) and going on a few Sonoma wine tours. We will end our honeymoon out with a week on the beach, so we get some unwinding in before our return to the rat race.

We agree this will be a best of both worlds vacation, a compromise, our first of many in this marriage. We are both really looking forward to married life and spending more time together. We have already picked out and bought the perfect house, nothing elaborate, just the right size for our starting out phase, room for a kid or 2 if we choose. Neither of us is in a big rush for kids, but we both would like to have a few kids some day. We want to secure our relationship and the finances of our lives before bringing kids into the picture. We have a few friends who have gotten married and had kids right away, and it seems to be a lot of stress on a new marriage. We will enjoy spending time together as grownups first, and then a few years from now, maybe add a baby. I guess we will take that part of it a step at a time.
