Our Engagement Story

*Collaborative Post

We have recently celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary and even though I have previously written about our wedding in Rhodes, I have never told you about our engagement, which incidentally also had a Greek feel!

Ultimate Travel Honeymoon Ideas

*Collaborative Post

Your wedding day is the best day of your life, for many, it’s the day they have been planning for a long, long time. It’s an exciting day that you spend with all your friends and family, celebrating the love of your life. But your honeymoon as all about the two of you. Traditionally it was time spent getting to know each other, as you didn’t get much time to do that before the wedding. Now, however, it’s turned into a fantastic opportunity to spend time together while enjoying a truly fabulous holiday. Everyone has different ideas as to what a honeymoon should look like; a dedicated honeymoon suite which you don’t ever leave, an all-inclusive resort holiday with cocktails by the pool, a secluded villa out on an island, hiking through the jungle, or travelling between cities or countries.

Wedding Day Bliss? Why we went abroad

Your wedding day, the one day that is meant to be all about you and your other half making a lifelong commitment to one another… or… A day that takes months or years to plan, causes stress, a lot of crafting of invites/table decorations/bunting, chasing RSVP’s, organising every last detail (sometimes more for others than yourselves), tears and sometimes fallouts.
