Oh, yes. I hear that's the rumor (good guess). But no, not those crazy kids!
THESE CRAZY KIDS!

Yeap. That's us. And we're postponing our honeymoon until next year sometime, when he gets to take a great big chunk of leave. Unfortunately, he has just a few days after the wedding and it's back to work!
From what I hear, this is pretty common for military families. Sometimes, training and deployment schedules don't work out at all and honeymoons are postponed indefintely. I know a couple women who married their husbands just days before they deployed, barely enough time for a ceremony. So, we're lucky. Because we have time for a mini-moon.
So right after the wedding we're headed to (fabulous) New Orleans!
Four days of amazing, mouth-watering, food.
Amazing live music from places like Preservation Hall and Tipitina's. (Plus I just found out that Mary J. Blige will be in town for festival, um...YES!)
And a whole lot of nothing. Because I really think we're gonna need a break.
It's a toss up between the food and the nothing for me--they are tied for the "thing-I-am-looking-forward-to-the-most." New Orleans is a little tradition for us, we've gone at least once a year since we started dating and it's always an amazing time. It's has a big place in our hearts and we couldn't imagine a better post-nuptial getaway!
And as they say, laissez le bons temps rouler!
So how about you? What are your honeymoon plans? Anyone else mini-mooning it?
