THE WEDDING ISSUE HAPPY HONEYMOONING 101 WANT TO FIND YOUR BLISS AND EMBARK ON THE HONEYMOON OF YOUR DREAMS? HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO MAKE THE MOST MEMORABLE VACATION OF YOUR LIFE SEAMLESS. Consider a travel agency “Our services don’t cost anything,” says Mark Bliss of Bliss Travel. “There’s no added cost. You can get the same price by calling yourself.” BUT – what you do get when booking through a qualified agency is peace of mind, inside tips and advice you never knew you needed. Travel agents have access to information you don’t and won’t find on the internet. “We’re with you the whole way,” said Bliss, who also manages the Calumet Club in New Albany, a popular spot for weddings and events. And if something goes wrong, “We’re only a phone call away,” he added. Set a budget Weddings can be expensive and honeymoons are often overlooked. But consider this: a wedding only lasts hours while a honeymoon lasts days. Consider them both before you plan your nuptials. WANT HELP PLANNING YOUR HONEYMOON? TRY THESE AREA EXPERTS.
