When Mr. Cardigan agreed to take on planning our honeymoon by himself, I was completely over the moon. It’s a wedding-related project that I don’t have to do ANYTHING for except show up. Awesome, right? I’m so thrilled that he’s taking on such a huge task for me, but I have to admit: the control freak in me is going crazy over this. Is he booking stuff on time? Is he looking in the right places for discounts? What if he picks a crappy hotel? What if he forgets to plan any events and we don’t have anything to do?!

Well… I’m sure we’d find something to do. But, um, that’s not what this post is about.

I finally have decided that I trust Mr. C. He knows me well and he’s going to do an amazing job of planning the honeymoon. But, that doesn’t mean I can’t fantasize about where we may be going! Let me tell you all about my ideas:

1. Disney World!

I’ve never been to Disney World, but Mr. C and I have always talked about how much fun it would be to go. Early on in our relationship, I even remember mentioning to him that I thought Disney World would make for a pretty awesome honeymoon. We’re such a playful couple that this would really fit us well, and it would be great to get to act like a kid with Mr. Cardigan on our honeymoon! Plus, it’s in Florida, so we could also go to the beach, and possibly even the new Harry Potter theme park at Universal Orlando! (I’m DYING to go see it!)

2. San Francisco, California (or just California in general)

Mr. Cardigan used to live near San Francisco when he was a kid, and I still hear him talking about how amazing it was at least once a week. He’s already sworn that someday he will take me here, because he loves California. Of course, it may not be San Francisco in particular - he’s also in love with the California wine country and always talks about how beautiful it is. I could definitely see our honeymoon being somewhere in California! And can I confess something? If it is in California, I really hope it’s close enough for us to make a day trip or two to Hollywood. ‘Cause seriously? I want to see it.

3. Savannah, Georgia

In particular, The Lady & Sons restaurant owned by my BFF, Paula Deen. I’m a little obsessed with her and have told Mr. C many times that I would love to make a trip to Georgia just to visit her restaurant and maybe catch a glimpse of my kitchen hero. I’ve also always thought Georgia would be a fun place to visit! This is probably one of the least likely of my options, just because I don’t know if he would have thought of it. But it would be a lot of fun!

4. A cruise!

Even though I’ve been on two cruises and I’ve never been to anywhere else on this list, I would be THRILLED if this was what Mr. Cardigan chose. It’s appropriate for us because he did propose on a cruise ship, after all! I absolutely love cruises and I think it would be a blast to go on one for our honeymoon. I mean, who doesn’t love being waited on hand and foot for a full week? It’s pretty awesome if you ask me.

5. Bermuda

Okay, so I’m about 99% sure that Bermuda is waaaay out of our price range for the honeymoon, but it would be amazing. I’ve always had some strange fascination with Bermuda (maybe it has something to do with my addiction to the Twilight Zone and stories about the Bermuda Triangle?) and I’ve wanted to go for as long as I can remember. To be honest, I’ve never even really researched what it’s like or if it’s a good place to vacation, but I’m dying to go here! However, I have a feeling it will have to wait for an anniversary or something.

So, those are my thoughts on where we may be going on our honeymoon! Of course, I won’t be able to tell you where we are actually going until we get back, but I promise I’ll let you know.

Can you think of any affordable warm-weather places I may have missed in thinking of possible honeymoon locations?
