Boston in January; Our First Trip of the Year

       We were married in Charleston, South Carolina at the French Huguenot Church and our reception was a romantic, fairytale in the garden of the Gibbes Museum.  There was a Gospel Choir waiting for us along with the guests outside of the church.  The doors opened and your hair stood on end as the choir burst into song, "Oh Happy Day!"  Together, we all walked from the ceremony to the reception in one of the happiest moments of my life! 
        One year of planning for this incredible, stunning evening.  From the flowers, to tablecloths, to tents, to decor, there was not a detail untouched.  Our band, Quianna Parler and Friends, did not take a single break, so you can only imagine the dancing that went on.  Then, there is the amazing honeymoon which distracts you from the fact that the wedding has come and gone.  It lifts your spirits to an excited state when all the people you love leave.  But what will you do in the year following when you are no longer anticipating the big day? 
       Honeymooner's Great Weekends!  We are going to follow, "Samantha Brown's Great Weekends," for one year.  Mark and I will travel to atleast one city a month for a weekend.  We will follow Samantha Brown's travel show and try out her list of things to do.  Mark and I will try our talents at filming the trip and putting together a short documentary on each destination, unless there is anyone who would like to film us.( just see our itinerary above to see if we are coming to your town )  Keep reading with great anticipation to these short films that will be posted at the end of every month. 
      We would like to propose this idea of one year of traveling together as a new tradition to newlyweds everywhere.  It doesn't have to be every month either, just something to plan together and get excited for all over again.  How will you remember your first year of marriage?  Would you like to think back and recall being melancholy because the big day is over?  Wouldn't you rather reminisce jetsetting all over the country on mini getaways, discovering the world together?  There is too much attention on weddings not enough attention on the marriage.  Get out there and make some memories!
       First up is Boston!  Neither my husband nor I have been before.
