The title of this blog post makes me so, so excited!! I can’t believe that we know where we are going on our honeymoon. Since we first got engaged and did the general wedding planning things (date, venue, dress, etc.) I have looked at dozens of honeymoon destinations. The first place we looked at was London, England, but we glanced at flight prices right after the wedding, and they were insane! Right after Christmas is a travel hotspot, and it was making flights more expensive than usual. We jumped around from NYC, Seattle/PNW, Florida, Disney World, Harry Potter World, Canada, Iceland and so many. Preston had to be over listening to me talking about destinations, ideas, places and reading article after article.
I was searching “cheapest flights in the winter,” “affordable travel destinations,” “honeymoons for couples who don’t like the beach,” and came up short for something in our price point and interest every time. Finally, on my birthday I was doing another marathon search session and came across VERY affordable tickets to Stockholm, Sweden (I’m telling you guys- I looked everywhere.), and Preston noticed that the layover was in London……
After trying to determine if we could just get off in London and not continue to Sweden (lol!), we tried looking at the specific date range for just London, and it fell into place perfectly. We booked the flights within thirty minutes and suddenly had our destination set! Booking it was the best birthday present ever. We talked for the rest of the day about all our plans and already looked at a few activities we definitely want to do.
I am so thankful that our dream trip worked out! I am already imagining walking around the rainy streets of London with my husband! I can’t wait to do detailed packing posts and more info before and after the trip. Thanks to everyone reading my blog during the best year of my life! I am so, so thankful for all those playing a part in this very special time.
