Booked the honeymoon!

Well I was having a slow day in work, so decided to do a bit of research into the honeymoon- we knew we wanted to go on a cruise- and from the uk (no flights) because oh has a flying phobia. so i was doing some surfing on the net, and thought i would pop into the travel agents after work- work finished at 4.30- and travel agents closed at 5.30- got to travel agents at 5.10 and thought i would just pop in to get some leaftets- but the cruise specialist was there- and next thing i knew it was 6.50pm ! and i was going home having booked the honeymoon!
feel a lilttle bad on oh coz i did it alone- but we would have gone for what i picked anyway

so the wedding is on sat 23rd july- we get on the coach on the 31st july to southampton (free return coach journey :)
and sail from southampton- for 12nights

little tiny bit gutted that i have to go back to work for a week- but with the face we had to go from the uk- and obviously can only go when the ship sails- it slightly restricted us- we could have gone the day after the wedding, but we didnt want that.
so this means we get a week in work, then go on honeymoon

very very excited :)
Is a married woman!! 23rd July 2011 Best day of my life!

    Sounds brilliant sammy!

    We're in the same boat - boom boom! Our cruise sails the week after we get married too but I'll be damned if I go back to work! Probably going to use up all my holiday entitlement but hey ho! OH will probably go back to his work though.

    Oh just noticed your going on P&O - ours is Ventura, be interesting to see what you think of it! Mines not til next November so come back with your verdict!

    Someone asked me if I was taking the day off before and I was like 'eh why', then I realised OMG getting married is not as simple as I thought and I'll probably be stressed out my head.
  • ohh will let you know :)
    i suppose it will be the last min things- like taking stuff to the venue, beauty stuff (nails etc)
    all very exciting :)
    yours in under a year now :)
