When I started thinking about our wedding, I thought that honeymoons HAD to mean beaches, sun, and resorts. Once I began the planning though, we realized that we may not have had all of the funds we wanted in order to get to an exotic island like I pictured.

No matter…we got married in Autumn, my favorite time of year! We figured we might want to take advantage of the time of year and go where it was most beautiful at that time: the Northeastern United States! Combining my love for fall colors, the crisp, cool air, and wine, we settled quickly on The Finger Lakes region of New York, as well as Niagara in Canada. There were wineries galore, beautiful settings, and perfect weather for my favorite time of year!

Because our honeymoon consisted mostly of eating and drinking (LOTS of eating and drinking), my recaps will be fairly short, but I do want to touch on the main things we did for those of you who may be looking for a honeymoon or minimoon that’s cheaper than Napa, but is still a wonderful time!

With that, I’ll start my recaps off with our Honeymoon Video!

Mike and Mandy’s Honeymoon from Mandy Weger on Vimeo.

Yes, it’s fairly long, but I edited it together with some fun music! We used a Flip HD camera, my Nikon D60, and a little point and shoot camera we had to buy halfway through the trip because we forgot our battery charger for our Nikon.

I’ll break the whole honeymoon down for you next!
