1. The man and his fiancé are getting married in _____ months.
2. The man’s fiancé thinks traveling through Europe _____ sounds romantic.
3. The man prefers to backpack through Mexico and visit _____.
My fiancé and I are now planning our honeymoon trip because we are getting married in two months. However, we haven’t decided on a specific honeymoon trip because there are so many options. First of all, my fiancé wants to visit Europe on our honeymoon, and she thinks it would be romantic traveling to different countries by train for a couple of weeks. She also thinks going on a honeymoon cruise to Hawaii would be a fun way to spend our vacation together.
Personally, I’d rather spend a few weeks backpacking through Mexico of South America and visiting famous historical sites. No matter what we do, we have to carefully budget our money to cover travel and meal expenses because money doesn’t grow on trees once you are married.
