Goal #2540 Honeymoon #1 Park City

Getting married in the middle of your last semester has many pros and cons, here are a few just in case you ever find yourself in a dilemma such as ours.

Pros:

            Avoid the trend of all college students being married during summer and winter breaks

            Get married sooner

            Don't have to plan a wedding all semester

            You are forced to plan a simpler honeymoon(in case you have to return to school for any tests)

            Have the perfect weather wedding (although there is a higher risk of snow, just not in 2011)

Cons:

            You may fail a test...or two

           Depending what part of the semester you get married in, you may have to live with roommates for a bit

                  

This is pretty much what our Pro/Con list looked like, just a bit more detailed but somehow it just fit together best to get married in Sept. For those of you that don't know, Kyle and I got married Sept 17th and I spent the next three months living in Logan with my college roommates Monday -Thursday and then came home to him on the weekends. It was kind of crazy but worked out great for us. We were able to live our bachelor/bachelorette lives for an additional three months while still having all the benefits of marriage. So for us, it was a win-win! Although living with roommates wasn't my favorite, living with my best friend made things a lot easier. So I finished my last semester of school while Kyle worked in Salt Lake and it made the marriage transition easy and carefree. 

So anyways back to the PRO of being forced to plan a simpler honeymoon: 

We got super lucky and ended up getting a great deal on a condo in Park city for $272 for an entire week, so that was a huge money saver and it was tons of fun. It was great to just spend time with each other and not be somewhere super cool that we'd never been to before. Park city was a great place because we were far enough away that there was plenty of things we wanted to do but not so many that we couldn't sleep in all morning and just relax. The second bonus of our simple honeymoon came in the form of a free week at any condo of our choosing. We were lucky enough to buy our Park City condo on a weekend they were having a Buy One Get One Sale so we got a second week, which is why we spent a week in Arizona but that's for another post in another day.
