Though it’s only been a mere 3 weeks since our fabulous honeymoon to Antigua, it feels like a lifetime…can you tell we are people that must have beach time? When Jeff and I started researching possible destinations, we made a list of everything we were searching for–relaxing and secluded, private pools, all-inclusive, and individual bungalows. {simple request, no?}
With those items all in check, our travel agent showed us Hermitage Bay Resort, and within a few hours, we had decided this was absolutely what we were looking for. Trust me, this place did not disappoint.
The week of the wedding, people kept asking me how I was feeling…nervous, anxious, excited. All of those emotions were running through my mind no doubt, though all I could think of was that Jeff and I would have a week with just the two of us with no phones and no work!
Sunday morning, we woke up at the hotel at before the crack of dawn and headed straight the airport…fast forward to the plane and I had one tired husband on my hands… he’s going to kill me for posting this.
Through Miami to catch our 2nd plane, and then the read fun started–we landed in gorgeous Antigua and met our driver to take us to the resort.
Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted with cold towels, mojitos, and a ride up to our incredible abode for the week…check out the picture tour:

And then we went home as husband and wife…people have asked me if it feels different now that we’re married and the answer is most certainly YES! Sure, we lived together and bought a house during our engagement, but now it’s so much better because I am officially 1/2 of a “team” and wouldn’t have it any other way…the best honeymoon we could’ve ever imagined and one that we can look back on for years to come!! Hope you enjoyed the picture overload đ

newlywed cheesiness is the best.
I, for one, am super fond of the cheese.

Congrats on a fab honeymoon! So glad you two had fun. I'm ready to go stay in a bungalow somewhere, now! đ
Looks awesome…. and you two are totally naked in one of those pics. Get it girl!!!
I did want to tell you that I had an absolute blast at your wedding. Such an awesome reunion of friends. Thanks for asking me to sing… it was an honor! Hope you and Malc can make it to my side of the state soon for a little visit. We would LOVE it!
Loved this peek into your honeymoon!
Funny but I felt the same way during the week of our wedding! We're having a delayed proper honeymoon in September but had a few nights at one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at. All the stress of my 'to-do' lists lead me to craving luxury and opulence!
