(June 2000)
Our tenth anniversary is only days away:)
Both having just graduated from college we kept everything about our wedding and honeymoon simple. The lodge we stayed at was only a few miles down the road from my parents farm, where we had gotten married. It was affordable and pretty. We stayed in a sweet little log cabin, complete with deck, kitchen and a lovely stove to snuggle up in front of. The cabin was part of a large wood lodge over looking a lake. Perfect for me because I was to immediately say good bye to all things north and move south with my man after the honeymoon.
The best and worst thing about the honeymoon was that it rained all three days we where there so we mostly sat in the cabin or visited the lodge to dine there. Lovely because it forced us to have lots and lots of talking and alone time… not so lovely because if we would have stayed longer we would have been bored to tears.
(So young, marriage was so new… He was 21 and I was 19.)
Remember you and your man being together is the most important part of the trip so cut yourself lots of slack if you are broke like we where and have to keep it simple. There will be time in the future to enjoy fancier things together! We hope to find more opportunities for honeymoon type trips in the years to come. Something more extravagant would now be our style and a cross country train trip would be tops on my list, just me and my man!

I love the simple trips the best! Sounds like a lovely honeymoon!
Perfect! It sounds ideal… and you’re so wise… better to focus on each other in a relaxed environment, then to plan a luxury vacation with too much activity.
Happy Tenth, you two… and here’s to the next ten, and beyond!

Enjoyed reading your memories. I like the advice you shared as well. Congratulations on your upcoming 10th anniversary.
it sounds lovely…..happy #10….we’re up to #20 at the end of the month and I cannot imagine WHERE the time has gone….it has been a great journey…with ups and downs yet God’s Hand has been upon it…..blessings to you….
Great post, thanks for sharing. I agree with you taking some time after getting married is vital.
Happy 10th!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! British Columbia is a beautiful place, one you will in all liklihood, fall head over heels in love with!!
Your cabin getaway sound ideal to me! I think too many newleyweds think that their honeymoon is supposed to be a whirlwind vacation! I suppose that could allow you to see your spouse at their absolute worst but that probably isn’t the point!
Hoping you make some beautiful memories for your 10th Anniversary!
