Turks & Caicos: Your Perfect Honeymoon Destination

Engaged and deciding where to honeymoon? If you’re looking for somewhere gorgeous, warm, and Zika free, Turks and Caicos is one of the most fabulous destinations in the Caribbean, and ideally suited for newlywed bliss!

Warm (we’re talking 82 degrees warm) turquoise water stretches out from white sugar sand beaches, perfect for floating, snorkeling, diving, and sunbathing. You can stand up paddle board through the mangroves, or get a couples massage at the top-rated spa in the Caribbean and then head to dinner at one of the island’s 100+ restaurants.

Whether you’re looking for eco-chic or sumptuous luxury, Turks and Caicos has something to meet almost any couple’s needs. Once you’re there be sure to check out What To Do in Turks and Caicos, a travel blog that gives readers the inside scoop on restaurants, activities, and the best beaches on Provo. It’s like having a best friend that lives on the island and so much more up to date than a travel book.

Happy travel planning newlyweds! If you have any concerns about how your name change might affect your travel. Check out this honeymoon travel tip article created by the MissNowMrs name change experts.

Should you be post-honeymoon phase…TCI is the ultimate vacation destination for any couple regardless of how long they’ve been married!

Top 5 Honeymoon Travel Tips For Brides

In the passport of life, marriage and name change are two very big stamps! On your actual passport, you’ll get a stamp for your honeymoon (should you travel outside the U.S.) But, the name on that passport can cause problems if you aren’t prepared. Read on for our Top 5 Honeymoon Travel Tips for Brides.

1. Maiden Voyage – Book your honeymoon travel and reservations in your maiden name. It will take 2 weeks for your marriage certificate to be issued. And, you’ll need that to file for your new driver’s license and U.S. Passport. It will take the State Department 5-6 weeks to send out your new passport.

2. Invest in Insurance – Worried you or your spouse will make a name mistake somewhere along the way? Invest in travel insurance to protect yourself from potential change fees or being required to re-purchase your ticket. TSA is no joke when it comes to name change.

3. Destination Wedding Do’s – Make sure that the Social Security Administration will accept your marriage certificate. Call 800.772.1213 to get the scoop on whether you’ll need to translate and/or authenticate your marriage license before it is legal in the U.S.

4. Stock Up – Request 2-3 additional certified marriage certificates while you’re at your destination. They’ll help streamline the name change filing process when you get home. And, save you the nightmare of long distance logistics around obtaining additional copies once you’re home

5. Save Time – Change your name with MissNowMrs. Our app or easy online name change service will help you go from Miss to Mrs. in a matter of minutes!

TSA Tip For Newlyweds & Honeymooners

If you do nothing else, follow this one TSA tip for newlyweds! After all of the thought and planning that goes into creating the perfect wedding, most newlyweds are more than ready to set off on a carefree honeymoon! Can you imagine how upset you would be if you couldn’t hop on that plane to your exotic destination? It happens to newlyweds….and it’s horrible.

ALWAYS book your honeymoon flights and travel reservations in your maiden name. And be sure your fiance knows this. We know you and your spouse can’t wait to for you to use your new name. But, if you have your married name on your tickets and your maiden name on your passport…it’s a no go.

Simply wait until you return all tan and relaxed from your first trip as newlyweds to file for your new passport in your new married name. Your new picture will be that much better. If you’ve had your U.S. passport for less than 12 months it’s free! When you receive your new passport, they’ll include your old one. So, you can use the page with your travel stamps in a scrapbook or momento.

Now that you know our TSA tip for newlyweds, tell your other engaged friends the scoop so they don’t miss their dream honeymoon. Should you or your friends need help changing your names, the MissNowMrs app or online name change service can save you hours of hassle!

Newlywed Disaster

Have you ever thought about newlywed disaster? Imagine that you and your fiancé spend time and money planning your dream honeymoon/vacation. After countless conversations and daydreaming about how you’re going to have the time of your lives, it doesn’t go as planned.

Well, that’s just what happened to a newlywed couple. An article about a newlywed couple from Sweden who survived their honeymoon. I know what you’re thinking, isn’t that the goal for everyone/don’t we all survive our honeymoons? Well, yes, but most people’s biggest honeymoon nightmare is rainy weather, not a major snowstorm, a tsunami, 2 earthquakes, catastrophic flooding and a cyclone!

Can you imagine it? You set off on what you think will be the trip of a lifetime (a 4 month long honeymoon) with your love to Germany, Bali, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan only to be hit with just about every natural disaster known to man! YIKES!!!

While a bad trip is hardly the worst thing that can happen in life, it made me think about marriage and how my husband and I, like all brides and grooms dreamed that married life would be perfect. There’s NO WAY that Swedish newlywed couple thought their honeymoon would be anything less than blissful!

Newlyweds can be naïve or as I like to put it…overly optimistic! There’s nothing wrong with a positive attitude or outlook on life; however, you want to prepare yourselves for when something in your life doesn’t turn out as planned. If not, any negative situation will feel overwhelming like a ton of bricks on you and/or your marriage.

We all go through things in our lives that are certainly not what we planned or hoped, but we make it through and often times come out on the other side stronger, more passionate and better people.

That happens in all marriages too! I’m sure you know at least one couple and have heard unpleasant stories about something that happened in their marriage or to someone they know (i.e. constant fighting, gambling, debt, illness, drug/alcohol problems, infidelity, or divorce).

It’s a known (and unfortunate) fact that not all marriages last forever, but that doesn’t mean that you and your spouse won’t have a long, happy and healthy marriage. You will have to work for it, letting your spouse know each and every day that he/she means the world to you (most importantly…be thankful for the little things).

In our marriage vows we state that we will love one another “in good times and in bad,” so just remember that always. However horrible the bad times may be (whether it’s a bad honeymoon, an illness, loss of job, etc.) think about what brought you together in the first place and remind yourself of the love you shared on your wedding day. Reminiscing about the days you had butterflies in your stomach just being around each other and how far you’ve come will help you get through anything.

Do you have a newlywed disaster story…Or a tough marriage moment? How did you make it through? Share your thoughts with us…
