Wedding Bells

[_____V_____]

Yeah no use going on a honeymoon on short notice and get back to work without even enjoying it. Its a time to relax and get intimate. Thats why we decided to have it around Fall time, when we ll have at least a month-long break from work till New Years.

Its a good thing you 2 waited too, makes the wait all the more worthwhile, doncha think?

For sure.

Plus, there's so much to be done after the wedding with name changing, combining finances, thank you cards, getting the house organized, etc... We still aren't even done with it all so it would have sucked to get home from a honeymoon and have all of that crap waiting for us. This way, it'll all be done and we'll actually be able to enjoy ourselves.


Working at a hotel is actually showing a benefit too, which is nice. I get a HIlton discount at any Hilton brand hotel so we are staying at the Hilton Beachfront Resort in Longboat Key Florida (About an hour from Tampa) in a normally $260/night room for $59/night!!! (Go Hilton discount!!!!) Our total price for 5 nights is less than it would cost fo 2 nights there with no discount. :D


Then for the last 2 days we're there, we are gonna cruise over to Orlando and we're staying at the Doubltree Hotel (Also a Hilton property) that is right at the gates of Universal Studios fo $39/night!


This all reminds me.... I need to start tanning or my pasty white as will fry.

wow thats great BW. Plus you get other benefits courtsey the hotel management, and trips to anywhere you please. It does pay to work at the Hilton. I m glad for both of you. Have a great one bro. Post some pics of that too, I d love to see em.

Summer-time in florida can take a chunk outta your bums. Its a better idea to stay in the shades, or you ll end up with deep-fried ones which wont let you sit or sleep. Also, the cream takes awhile to work, it doesnt soothe rightaway grrr. (Trust me on that one, it hurts like a bitch alrite!)

I m planning to go to Maine. We have a cabin there on the outskirts by Bar Harbor, then on our way back we ll have a quick trip to New York (for shopping), then off to Nashville to meet her folks, where we ll be joined by my folks, spend New Years there, and be back here in Frisco by first week of January.

Also, I have to start saving a lot more money. Its gonna be an extravagant 2006 for me from now.

I do? Haha. I haven't seen any trips from them coming my way thus far. My manager will give me a gift certifcate here and there for a job well done or whatever but they have yet to send me anywhere. :(

Like I said, I need to get tanning. I'm pale, I'm Irish & I live in Minnesota. Those 3 things can add up to a pretty nasty sunburn in a hurry.

Cool! The only place I've ever been on the Northeast coast is Boston & that was for a work thing (I used to be in the catering industry) so I didnt get to see the town much. What I saw, I liked though. I've never been out to NYC, but I'd love to get here sometime.

Haha. Don't bother. Whatever you make and save, she'll spend anyways. That's the way they operate. ;)

You aren't kidding! Luckily for us, her dad picked up the tab. (and what a tab it was!)

One really lame thing is that most reception places make you buy their kegs, which would be fine, but they charge like $300/keg for something I could go to the liquor store and get for $60. That was pretty lame. We went through 5 of them so it woulda been $300 total from a liquor store, but it ended up being $1500 (Just for beer!!!!) because they jack their prices up so much.

thanks scouse bro...and yea lmao, the convo is really rivetting if you are talking dollars and stocks and figures etc. ;)

Damn dont I know expensive! The figures which we have started adding have come up to the six-figure mark, and are adding up more geezbus...

@ BW...damn they should give you some added benefits, specially when your on your honeymoon, cuz you are a bonafide employee of em...

Also, you ll love Maine. The countryside and the people are really cool, plus places like Bar Harbor are a treat to watch, with the ships and boats and beaches and rocky cleefs...you should make it a point to visit it sometime.

NYC is awesome, its the best city in the US, IMO. Whenever you get a chance, make it a point to visit these two places.

If she plans to stay at the Hilton, then I might end up with an empty wallet and zero credit. lmao, THAT might be fun! :D I might end up calling you and asking YOU to bail ME out... :p

Better than Vegas or Hollywood? (Those are currently my two favorite cities to visit.)

Thats cuz they realise the people buying it are wedding parties. And they need their beer kegs. Damn em!

Over here we are going through pretty much the same situation. Beer kegs are gonna cost us a bitch! Add it to the other alcohol, and thats a big figure in $$ you are looking at.

Its an all round winner. (although nothing can beat Vegas at night)

Hollywood, blah, its ok, but it aint THAT great. Not much to see there cept studios and Beverly Hills in the distance. There are some really excellent clubs, but thats bout it.
