Weddingbee boards

Me and my fiance just cancelled our wedding because we could never find enough money for it. So instead we are just gunna go to the courthouse with our small families (about 10 people total)  and then take pics afterwards. We might have a small BBQ at our house a couple weeks after. So nothing fancy going on at our wedding.

We have been through so much that we both need a great honeymoon. But im just worried it wont ever happen because its so expensive to go on a trip. So im asking if anyone knows of any cheap honeymoon ideas.

please and thank you!!

It doesn't sound like you cancelled your wedding at all, just rearranged it!

A wedding is a wedding, no matter how big, how small, on a train or in the rain ;)

I know this wasn't your original question, but had you considered hiring an officiant or having a friend officiate in your backyard, at your bbq, in front of your family and friends? Potluck that event and forget decorations and I think you've got yourself a backyard wedding.

Anyway, though, there are loads of different inexpensive trips. Where are you located?

I'm outside Chicago and Michigan has so many different beach spots (New Buffalo being my favorite) and the dunes are on the way up there. A stop at the beach for a day, then a stop at the casino, then antiquing/shoppin/eating in New Buffalo! Most perfecto, if you ask me!

I tried planning the wedding in my parents backyard but it was still to expensive for us. Our orginial honeymoon was on a cruise but the had to cancel that. I live in georgia, in the country...nothing exciting to do around here. lol.

Maybe stay somewhere like that and see the local sites? You might not think there is anything interesting there, but the city center will beg to differ! It might not be something you've "always wanted to do" but sometimes checking out what's around is the best kind of adventure :)

I agree with previous posters that Savannah is quite romantic, you could maybe find a nice bed and breakfast to stay at - http://www.bedandbreakfast.com/savannah-georgia.html

How far are you from Chattanooga?  That's always a fun place to visit. 

You could look on homeaway.com for a place to rent for a few days, maybe in the Georgia mountains? 

I don't know what your budget is, but you could even try finding a B&B in a nearby town and stay. 

If it's a super tight budget, maybe splurge on staying in a nicer hotel or B&B for a night and then have a stay at home honeymoon for the rest.  You could take a few days and buy lots of good food, watch movies, stay in PJ's all day and have a "No Chores, No Phones, and No Computer" rule. 

@Wonderstruck: yeah i tried going on groupon, i didnt find anything, but im gunna try again because a lot of people have suggested it.

I'm actualy not that far from tenn., about an 1 1/2 hours. we really wanna go somewhere tropical/beachy. i'm thinking we should just go to florida, try to rent a vaction house for about a week on st. george island.

ummm well i wanna keep it under 1,000. but i would love to go lower then that.

The carnival cruises out of Charleston and Mobile are close by and great. Super cheap, super fun.

EDIT: I do think the one out of Charleston is much nicer than mobile, though. The Charleston ship has been renovated and is just cleaner than the Elation (mobile ship)

All of ya'lls ideas are really helping me decide on what to do. But the good thing is we just pushed our wedding date back to september, it was in april. So now we can save more money, and i wont be so stressed.

Thank you everyone for giving me ideas, and if you have anymore, please do tell =]
