24th March 2009-Where in the world...?

Hello there fellow brides and wedding fanatics! Sorry it's been a while, truth is it's all pretty quiet just now on the wedding front and i didn't want to bore you.

Yes, be assured that somewhere in the midst of all the panic and mayhem which is the lead up to a wedding, will come a period of time when there isn't much going on at all! And let me tell you it's pretty nice to be able to relax for a bit before you enter into the final, mad furlong.

As always though the subject of weddings is never far away from our thoughts and our current topic of wedding deliberation and confusion is one of the few that all brides and grooms must decide together. One of the rare wedding decisions that the groom actually wants to have some in-put into (i lie of course as groomy is happy to go along with any of my decisions until he doesn't actually like one of them and then he sticks his oar in! on this basis i am informed, all decisions must be classed as joint), and inevitably there for, one of the most important.

Of course i'm talking about where to go for the honeymoon.

It's harder than i thought choosing one single place in the WORLD to go! After all the world is a BIG place and i could probably choose several hundred holiday destinations i'd love to see given an adequate budget and the time! But alas, neither budget, nor time is on our side here and a decision must be made. I know we are getting a week in Italy anyway (which would always be top of my very long list obviously), but i'm told that a honeymoon is pretty special and not to be missed for the memories and of course the romance element. So a further destination is required.

We started with high hopes of far-flung desitinations. Hawaii was up there for a while, quickly replaced by the Maldives. Then wedding stress began to kick in and the idea of travelling for more than an couple of hours to reach relaxation nirvana seemed a step too far. Perhaps another week in Italy then, or one of it's islands not too far away? But do we want a beach holiday, or a luxury countryside hotel? Will we be up to some sight-seeing or will a tan and a facial be the order of the day? And to throw another difficulty into the mix-should we book now or wait until the last minute in the hopes of a credit crunch holiday bargain? Decisions, decisions...

Currently we are googling. The world is a big place but i think i've viewed most of it's hotels at this point (not quite as many as there are wedding dresses but still quite a few)! And still we are not a step closer to making our decision. I guess it isn't too awful a choice to have to make and it's certainly more fun than some other parts involved in organising this wedding! And looking at pictures of all the places we may or may not end up is making me long to get to the warmth of the Amalfi Coast. I believe the weather is lovely there just now...

I'll let you know if we ever make a choice!
