4 offbeat destination wedding & honeymoon venues in Puerto Rico

Last month I went on a 5-day press tour of Puerto Rico, busing around the island with a pack of other journalists to check out wedding and honeymoon destinations.

Hannah and Simon’s family-centered, baby-wearing adventure honeymoon in Bali

We went to Bali, Indonesia. We chose to go somewhere affordable, but family-friendly. We didn’t think we could afford to go on a honeymoon, let alone schedule it in.

Keren & Sean’s nerdy self-guided WWII tour of France honeymoon

My now husband and I started dating after a long conversation about our shared love of history, specifically WWII history. Yes, we are history nerds.
