I now pronounce you... TOTALLY EXHAUSTED!
By Anne-Kathryn Bultman Anne@TheColumbiaStar.com

Boy and Girl look forward to leaving everything behind once their wedding is over and enjoying a stress- free honeymoon. But Boy and Girl need to make sure their great escape doesn't turn out to be the worst week of their lives.

Many newlyweds decide to go somewhere tropical so they can lie on the beach sipping Daiquiris all day. However, Mother Nature may have a different idea for the happy couple. If Boy and Girl get married during hurricane season, chances are Fran, Iris, or whatever will come along and Boy and Girl will really get "blown away" on their vacation.

If Boy and Girl get to go on a tropical honeymoon there are a few other deal breakers they may encounter. Because the days leading up to the wedding are so hectic, Boy and Girl may forget to pack the SPF.

The first day out on the beach with the hot, tropical sun beaming down may burn Girl to a crisp. She will be calling room service for aloe instead of calling Boy to her bed.

If Boy and Girl go to a foreign country, they might want to brush up on the language. Getting lost and not knowing how to ask anyone for directions can really put a damper on the romantic stuff.

But the worst possible honeymoon horror will and does happen if Boy and Girl drink the water. Bathrooms are just not that romantic in this situation.

It's a good idea for Boy and Girl to put as much thought into the honeymoon as they do the wedding plans. Yes, the vows may be tearjerking, the cake may taste great, and the band may play to perfection, but that will all be forgotten when Boy and Girl spend their honeymoon screaming from pain of sunburn, lost in a foreign country, blown away by a hurricane, or hunched over a toilet.
