Davong Marie

Hi Friend! Welcome to my Wedding Wednesday posts! Here I discuss everything about weddings and help answer questions. Weddings can be overwhelming! There are so many things to plan and so many vendors to choose from. So here on Davong Marie, I hope to give you advice and a peace of mind. Call me weird but I adore weddings, every detail. So let's go! This post we're discussing honeymoons!!! Where to stay Let's be real. This is the best part besides being married to the best man/woman ever! I was a bride, I know! The first question you run into is "Where do we go?". Then, some of you are like any where there is a beach and sun! Yea! Ha! There are many options, but which is your honeymoon destination? First, discuss with your fiancé where you would like to stay/sleep. A bed perhaps is a good start. Maybe a bed and breakfast, an inn, luxury hotel, or a relaxing resort.

I had never thought about linens, flatware, catering, and alcohol for a wedding. I was concerned with envisioning everything together. "Will it look tacky or will it be everything I thought it to be?" I feel like it will be a chaotic day. We are on a time crunch and I have little time to help setup.
