Honeymoon!


For awhile now Aaron and I have been trying to figure out if we would be able to afford a honeymoon or not. Aaron has had this dream of going to Sandals since he was 12 years old, but what he didn't understand when he was 12 is how expensive a Sandals trip can get! So after several conversations we decided that we would wait and see how much we got back from Uncle Sam this year; what ever we got back would determine how much we could spend on a honeymoon. Well much to our surprise Uncle Sam decided to bless us with an amazing honeymoon this year:) Now the only problem is finding a flight that doesn't have FOUR layovers! Who really wants to spend the first two days of married life in an airport?!?

So far we have been very blessed to have the means to do everything we want for this wedding. I know that we can do things for a lot cheaper than what we are. But almost every girl has a dream of having a Cinderella wedding and before Aaron and I were even engaged I knew we needed to start saving money in order to get what we wanted. There have been some sacrifices along the way and definitely some compromises! This whole journey has proven to be a test for Aaron and I financially and has taught us financial responsibility that will only help us later in life.

Now we are off to plan an awesome honeymoon to celebrate our commitment to each other!
