Have you ever wondered what the true meaning of Honeymoon is? Well, I am here to clarify it for you, along with Merriam-Webster Dictionary of course:
Definition of honeymoon
1: a period of harmony immediately following marriage 2 : a period of unusual harmony especially following the establishment of a new relationship 3 : a trip or vacation taken by a newly married couple.
I know you feel much better having a literal definition of honeymoon but I was actually thrilled to read it because if there is one thing I can say about my recent honeymoon...it fit the definition absolutely perfect!
Of course, like everything else that had to do with our wedding, we were also planning a honeymoon in the time of Covid, which did present challenges that we turned into opportunities. Originally, we had booked a trip out of the country but due to Passport Renewal delays, not to mention a little trepidation about leaving the country and possibly not being able to return if something spiked out of control made me a bit uneasy. So, we moved to plan B, which came directly from my Pinterest Dream Vacations Board! We chose a trip to Mackinac Island, which by the way...was perfect.
It gave us the wonderful feeling of having fallen off the grid but with luxury at every turn. Even the weather was perfect with the warmest day hitting 80 degrees the first week in July. We stayed at the most amazing, Mission Point Resort (please check out the photos as mine do not do it justice!), which met our every desire and, honestly, made us never want to leave. There is absolutely too much about Mission Point to write about in this post but it was wonderful.
After the crazy months leading up to this escape, Mackinac Island provide the perfect bubble to honeymoon. It gave us time, just for us, to explore, play, relax, and just be us. I could not have imagined a better beginning to my marriage to my best friend. It was all I could have dreamed and a sign of all the wonderful adventures to come!
