We are now almost one month removed from our wedding day. Where has the time gone? In the midst of writing thank you notes, chillin with friends and family (everyone wants to hang out with the “newly married couple”), and getting back to work, I am trying to regain some semblance of my former life. Yet, the question continually looms (and haunts), “When and where will we honeymoon?”

Before the wedding, Mr. G and I made the decision to postpone our honeymoon. Mr. G had just started a new job and he hadn’t accrued much vacation time. So we happily agreed to put off the honeymoon until September or October. I say “happily” because, at the time, the thought of travel planning (on top of wedding planning) seemed like a chore.

Well here we are, and it’s almost August, and no plans to speak of. The truth is that I’m having second thoughts. The whimsical, romantic side of me says, “Go on your honeymoon. It’s a once in a lifetime chance to spend blissful moments with Mr. G.” The practical side of me says, “Honey, hold on to the extra cash, and save it. It could go toward a future house.” Mr. G said he’ll go along with whatever I want. In other words, he’s stumped too.

In retrospect, I wish I would have just bit the bullet and planned the trip. Now all these annoyingly practical thoughts are swirling around in my mind; and unlike when I was planning our wedding, I now have oodles of time to think about pros and cons.

Did you postpone your honeymoon? Feel free to share your honeymoon experiences, and whether you think we should honeymoon or not. I could use some help on this one.
