Although it seems like forever until our wedding, it’s an even longer wait for our honeymoon. Not going to lie, I think I might be looking forward to the honeymoon more than the actual wedding…
Mr. Plane’s main task in the wedding-planning process was booking our honeymoon, and I think he did a great job finding Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort in Aruba!

I know you are already hearing that Beach Boys song playing in your head…
As soon as we decided where we wanted to honeymoon (pretty much anywhere outside of the hurricane belt…), it didn’t take long for Mr. Plane to find this beautiful (adult-exclusive!) resort.
I’ll be camped out on one of those loungers for the majority of the trip.
We booked over a year in advance because we wanted to be sure we were in the penthouse suite—and that’s exactly where we will be in in less than 200 days!
I’ve also been stalking their website and Facebook page, and Bucuti has been doing some serious renovations in preparation for our arrival, including the addition of a brand new restaurant.
While we cannot wait for the wedding, we are ecstatic to be able to look forward to this amazing vacation and to spending our first days as husband and wife at Bucuti.
Anyone else considering Aruba for their honeymoon? Did you plan your honeymoon based on the hurricane season?
NIIIIIIIIIIIICE!
*Kinda might be looking forward to our honeymoon more than the wedding too!*
@In the media: Thanks! I agree. 
@Miss Jackrabbit: looking forward to your HM post. 
My Fiance and I are staying at Bucuti next month for our honeymoon!!! We are so excited! We are doing 8 days in Disney World and 8 days at Bucuti… I can give you a review and recommendations when I get back!!! Happy Planning!
We are getting married August 31st and also needed to plan our honeymoon at a hurricane free destination. We settled on a private island in Fiji called Matangi. Can’t wait!
Ohhhh looks lovely! Girl, weddings are great, but honeymoons are even better. If I could re-live one or the other, I’d probs re-live our honeymoon
This looks amazing. I cannot wait for our honeymoon, I’m definitely keeping a countdown to it
@JenniferD: YES, please let me know how it is! Have you been stalking their webcams as much as I have??
@Danielle: That sounds amazing — have so much fun!
@Mrs. Wallaby: that’s what anniversary trips are for, right?
@new york bride 13: get it, girl – how many more days??
I’m also honeymooning in Aruba this September! I spend my days at work lusting over pictures.
We are also honeymooning in Aruba this September. We had similar reasons for choosing it (hurricanes). But I basically spend my days at work lusting over pictures and counting down!
Looks absolutely fabulous!!!! I hope you have a great time and I can’t wait to read all about it!
I actually have no idea where we are going on our honeymoon!! We didn’t go right after the wedding, but put it off till May, and my husband has taken care of planning the whole thing. He hasn’t told a soul where we are going, and its kind of exciting!!!
Hey! FI and I will be there June 2! This place looks amazing!
We are also honeymooning in Aruba after our August 31st wedding! Any recommendations, etc. would be appreciated. I cannot wait to go!!
This looks heavenly! And the penthouse?! I like how you roll
That resort looks amazing! I didn’t go to Aruba for my honeymoon, but I went to a destination wedding there several years ago and had a great time!
that looks amazing =) I should get around to booking my honeymoon…
This place looks amazing! I’m definitely keeping a countdown to it
I stayed here in 2010 for my honeymoon. You will LOVE it. I was so so happy with that as my choice. It’s as nice as it looks… probably even nicer now with the renovations! Enjoy
We’re going to an adult-only, couples-only, all-inclusive resort and I am so excited about it. I cannot wait to be surrounded with people that are likely in the same mindset as we are, you know? No families or children. Ahhhhh, swoonies.
Oh, and penthouse?! I can’t wait to see pictures!

I am the definition of a multi-tasker and like to believe I am also a perfectionist, but my horrible short-term memory likes to prove otherwise. I'm an English major and a pretty punny girl, so get ready for some really horrible plays on words! When I'm not consumed with wedding planning, I enjoy copious amounts of television and an equally unhealthy addiction to bacon.
