And did you like it? If you had to do it all over again, would you choose a different destination?

I'll start things off:

We went to Bermuda. I already knew that I would love it, because I had been there 4 times before. It is really one of the best places on this earth, imo.

If I had it to do over, I might choose a place I had never been before, but then it might not have been as good as Bermuda, so hard to say...

Nowhere, we couldn't afford one at the time, I was 19 she was just turned 21 and we had a mortgage.

Edit: If I could do it again I would love to have gone to Cyprus for our honeymoon because we have discovered it since and it really is "The Island of love".

We didn't have a lot of money, but I had a decent job as an engineering grad so had a brand new car, a red 85 TBird with a 5.0 V8. So we took two weeks and drove to Novia Scotia, doing the bed-and-breakdfast thing. We saw Peggy's Cove (now famous for a Jet Crash just off the coast), drove the Cabot Trail, and toured through some of the country where my Grandpap grew up. (My Granny had died a few years ealier and he had given me his wedding band.) We even camped out one night as I recall. I swam in the coldest river water ever one afternoon (and this was August). Then we toured coastal Maine, then on to Cape Cod, and stayed at my parent's place for a few days without them around (like we used to do during college ;)).

It was very romantic and inexpensive (just like our wedding). I wouldn't change a thing.

First marriage: Hawaii. Would I do it again? Not with that wife and only after I have done everything else.

Second marriage: Eleven years later, we're still on the honeymoon and I wouldn't change a thing.

What can I say? Not only do I love her, she is my best friend as well. Not a day goes by that I don't remind myself how lucky I am. It doesn't always happen that way, as is evidenced by my first marriage.

Big soft shite? I can live with that.

Went down to a bandstand with a packet of tesco value ice-lollies for a few hours...t'was a lovely warm day ^.^

But apparently its not a real marriage if you use gummy rings and have a jelly baby as your minister...but i'm yet to be convinced of that.

I'm jealous! If I ever get lucky enough for a real second chance, hope I can say the same.

First time, like most so far, didn't have much money but more influential was my first niece was due on my wedding day, she came a week late. ;) So we spent our 'honeymoon' with my recognizing a big mistake, in Chicago at Ritz Carlton. We saw several shows and did some shopping. Watched the St. Pat's Parade in the rain. Harbingers aplenty. Did I mention we were married on the Ides of March?

I don't know what the Wisconsin Dells are, but if they include a private setting in the woods, that sounds perfect!

We went to Australia. But we waited six months before we took it. Because we wanted to go to Australia in mid-summer, which is December down there.
I have always been fascinated by Australia, so that is where I wanted to go. We financed the trip by having a really inexpensive wedding. I preferred to spend money on the honeymoon instead of the wedding.
It was a great trip. I got to see a cricket match (with my e-friend Sharon, who I had been corresponding with for a couple of years), meet the incredibly hot Brett Lee, see also sorts of wildlife and get my picture taken with a koala.
No way I would change a thing. It was incredible.

My wife and I were very young I was 20 and she was 19 we were still in college so we had very little money. We went to Silver springs in Ocala FL. It was a great time but too short. We were only there for a long weekend. 15 years later we had a second and went to Cancun, had a blast. Here we are 19.5 years later and are planning a trip to Europe for our 20th. I wouldn't trade one single moment of our time together.

First wife - Hawaii, nice trip, stayed in Waikiki which is rather crowded, but we went had a great time. Snorkeling was fun, Pearl Harbor was a must see, the food was good.

Second wife - Jamacia, stayed at Jamacia Inn. It was awesome! Everynight I would sit out in the veranda and watch lighting storms in the clouds miles out in the ocean. The food was was quite nice, a 5 course meal everynight and for lunch Jamacian patty with a cold Red Strip. We had a wonderful time. Yes I would do it again.

Says you!

I could give a fuck care about romance. Hell I am the one that forgets my own anniversary.

Flowers are nice but they die. I much rather have a plant.
Chocolates suck.
While I enjoy having a man open the door for me and carry my shit around I also like to return the favor.


Weddings and honeymoons are overrated. They cost so much and the hype is too much to bear. Then the day is over.

First time took her to Old Tucson and saw the sights (she wanted to go). Second time, went home and chased her around the bedroom. So far, that worked the best because we're still going strong after 13 years.

First time I got married, I married her because I knocked her up and wasn't going to have a kid of mine born without my last name. There was no romance, just sex.

The second time I got married I was in the Air Force, and I couldn't go anywhere, let alone had the money. G.I.'s don't have a lot of cash, especially right after they just bought a new house.

We went where everyone went then, the Poconos, PA. We had no money but it was a nice few days. That was 37 years ago. It is hard to say how one would do it again as when you are young, life looks different. We went back to the Poconos many years later with our sons to an all inclusive, they loved it, as there was lots to do, shooting and bows and a weight room are great fun for boys. If I/we had to pick a place Paris is something, we went there on our 30th. Beautiful and once you have read Camus you have to go. Times change though, our boys went to those fancy resorts in the Caribbean.

there are several denominations of Christianity that do not abide by divorce under that circumstance. I guess your question would depend on the denominational perspective.

Kennedy SC is the best. We have a pic very similar to yours on our place mats. And you are right- the Saturn V rocket was absolutely, unbelievably, unbeatably AMAZING!

Key West used to be beautiful, too.

I built a model of that when I was a kid, and it didn't have the exposed tanks, but smooth sides. That is a smaller, earlier version. I'm thinking III, but that's not much more than a guess.

Actually, now that my older memories are tickled a bit, I'm thinking IB.

Yup, I'll lay decent odds that its a Saturn IB.

We went to Orlando, but not right after the wedding. We waited until January (wedding was in Sept) because we didn't have enough money. We both took the week off following the wedding, but we didn't have enough money to go anywhere significant. So we took the money we received from wedding gifts and booked our trip to Orlando the following January.

Stayed in Kissimmee and visited all the major parks, and went to Discovery Cove and did the dolphin swim experience. Had a little road trip out to Cocoa Beach and walked along the shore, watching some of the cruise ships out in the distance. It was a bit chilly at night, but during the day was nice and warm.
