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

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.0 -
