Not that excited about Honeymoon :(

View Quoted Comment Definitely not ruling this out as an option!! Thank you! 😊

View Quoted Comment I’ll take a look! Thank you!!

View Quoted Comment That sounds amazing! Thanks for the tip!!

View Quoted Comment You’re giving actually getting me excited about the trip! From what I heard I didn’t think it was all that great, but this definitely gives me hope! Thanks so much! ❤️

What did I assume? Both references were things you’ve stated previously. Yes it’s a public forum. I guess it was okay when you decided it was okay to dismiss me by saying “this ridiculous conversation is over” but you don’t want it done to you. I don’t know your financial situation but every couple is different and every wedding. No one is better than anyone else. Enjoy your day.

View Quoted Comment I can’t believe some of the deals on cheapcarribean.com! 😲 might actually be able to find something that works! Thanks so much for this!!

View Quoted Comment Thank you sooo much!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I definitely wasn’t trying to start to fight or seem ungrateful, but like I said I can’t help the way I feel about it.

You are hijacking the OP's thread. You cannot afford to go on a vacation or on dates, we get it. Start your own thread if you want to talk about that. OP doesn't have to justify her feelings to you because of your situation.

View Quoted Comment This. Right. Here. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Now theyre reporting all my posts so be careful.

View Quoted Comment I said that because I had intended not to continue with this conversation (which didn’t happen but oh well). I didn’t want it to turn into a flame war where we were arguing back and forth. Sorry, it’s been a stressful week and emotions are on high at the moment. I’m also more sensitive than normal since I have my cycle right now. So, your response felt harsh and kind of hurt me, but it also made me realize maybe I was being harsh with my own responses, which is why I apologized to OP. Hope that clears it up.

View Quoted Comment It’s okay! I feel the need to be defensive because I felt that you guys assumed that we aren’t in a bad situation too. Like I originally said I didn’t want the post to come off as ungrateful, but we’re literally giving 125% each to make this work just to find out it’s not good enough. Of course I’m going to be upset. I just don’t think it’s fair to compare situations bc everyone and their situation is unique. We count our blessings daily and I want everyone to get what they worked hard for. As a bride you deserve the honeymoon of your dreams and it’s upsetting to hear that you might not have that, but I don’t think I should have to adjust how I feel because it seems like to you like we’re in a better position. You saying that my problem isn’t really a problem because you have it worse, is very upsetting to me because it’s like saying me and problems are irrelevant. You not being able to get the honeymoon you deserve is upsetting to me and it’s very much a problem too, but that doesn’t negate the fact that I have a problem too.

Sorry about the long response! I definitely see where you’re coming from though and I respect that.

Cancun is a lot of fun, but I get your reservations about it. Tulum is pretty awesome too and nearby and less "vegas on the water" than Cancun.

View Quoted Comment I haven’t heard of Tulum so I’ll take a look because I’m worried Cancun isn’t as romantic because of the “Vegas on water vibe.” On point with what I was concerned about!! Thank you!!

View Quoted Comment Thank you for being understanding and accepting my apology. I agree with what you said, we all go through tough times. It was not fair of me to make an assumption. Everyone deserves to have the things they desire, especially after working hard as you said you and your FH do. We’re also working to better our situation. I hope everything works out for you and you have a wonderful wedding and honeymoon that makes you happy. 😊

Honestly, Cancun is really fun too so don't stress too much if you wind up there. I highly recommend Club Med Cancun as an all-inclusive. They have water sports and fun things to do.

Dont stay in Cancun. Stay in Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Cozumel or Isla Mujeres. Cancun is where the partying happens. All the other areas are quieter and less college-crowds.

You should definitely research more. You can easily find good deals. I also wouldn't harp on flight price alone, you should look at the trip total because maybe the hotel price is better for a different location where the flight prices are higher so it can even out. Come up with a total budget for both of you for flights and hotels first. Check travelpirates.com for deals/error fares, and travelzoo.com, jetblue vacations, apple vacations and as others have said cheapcaribbean.com and groupon. There are so many options you just have to look for them. I'm super into travel and I aim to do it on as much of a budget as possible. Also, depending on the location you are leaving out of you might have more options. You can also try to price Curaçao ....it is similar to Aruba, but more affordable!

View Quoted Comment No worries!! The only thing we can do is try to listen and understand each other better! Thank you and I pray that things turn around for you and you get everything you desire as well!! ❤️🤗

LA and NY are cheap but you said you wanted to go out of the country

I got a credit card with travel points that I plan on using for my honeymoon. We’re going to Costa Rica and we already have enough points that our flights are completely free! The chase card I have had a sign up bonus so we used it for EVERY expense and immediately paid it off to get the bonus (equal to $600)
