Great Expectations

Your wedding shopping spree probably didn’t stop at your gown and shoes. In fact you probably have a suitcase or two or three full of fantasy fashion for your Great Escape…your honeymoon, a much needed and well-deserved vacation.

From inner city explorations to remote tropical retreats, many of you are probably anticipating walking along the Isle with greater enthusiasm than walking down the aisle.

So, you’ve got your tickets, room, vaccines, visas, and passport. You’re packed and ready to go. YOU can’t stop thinking of all the things there are to see and do…and HE’S probably imagining three suitcases full of tantalizing treats and envisioning NEVER leaving the room.

Houston, we have a problem! And it’s quite obviously in the definition of “fun”. A prime objective for both of you, but with clearly different routes of achieving the same goal. While you may consider getting up early and hitting the gym in an effort to get bikini buff…he may be looking forward to sleeping late in the buff.

Yes, you’ve finally come together body, and soul…with mind remaining optional. You are still two very different individuals with different needs, likes, tastes and anticipations. To ensure everyone’s satisfaction, start by discussing your individual expectations, including romantic “fantasies” and interludes you’ve been contemplating. Discuss relevant and pertinent issues well in advance of booking this spectacular sojourn, make the necessary accommodations and most of all enjoy yourselves and each other.
