Wedding Wednesday: Honeymoon!

Brian and I have been in the process of planning our honeymoon for a couple of months now, but I had been very hesitant to spill the beans. After Brian got leave for the wedding and a honeymoon, he had to submit even more paperwork to get our honeymoon location approved. We watched airfare prices climb, twiddled our thumbs, kept on researching, and waited. Eventually, Brian heard that everything would "likely" go through, so we booked without official confirmation (talk about rolling the dice!) This week, everything went through officially, so I feel much more comfortable sharing that we will be honeymooning in...

St. Lucia!

Narrowing down a location when the options seemed unlimited was tough! I knew that I wanted to do a lot of relaxing (after planning a wedding during my toughest year of grad school, the thought of finally relaxing is the only thing getting me through!) Brian also likes a little bit of adventure, so we definitely wanted to go somewhere with options! I think St. Lucia is definitely the right choice!

After stalking Jax's St. Lucia posts and picking her brain about her trip there (I love bloggidy friends...thank you, Jax!), Brian and I decided to stay at Jalousie Plantation! The resort looks absolutely gorgeous, and it was named one of the Top 25 in the World by Conde Nast Traveler so obviously we are in for quite the experience! :)

I will most likely park my butt on one of those glorious looking chairs/beds and refuse to leave. Ever.

Gorgeous view of the Pitons, one of the "1000 Places to See Before You Die." 

We are both soooo excited! As of today, there are only 73 days until we get married and 75 days until we relaxing as husband and wife in beautiful St. Lucia! :)
