Greenberg has always said, "There are two kinds of luggage. Carry on and lost" and it has never been more true than it is now. <br /><br />If your wedding or honeymoon plans involve air travel, consider protecting yourself from inconvenience and potential loss with a luggage shipping company. These companies ship your belongings to your destination via one of the popular shippers (UPS, Fedex, etc.) but also pick up, deliver and fill out the paperwork for you. But one of the biggest reasons business is booming for these companies is that your baggage is insured against loss, a protection the airlines are steadily eliminating.

<br />There's a time and a place for laid-back, comfy and casual. There's a time and place for stylish (and possibly uncomfortable). Truth be known, there's a time and place for just about any look.<br /><br />We're trying to imagine the time and place for these pajamas. Though they're billed as "wedding pajamas", we're pretty sure they're not intended to be worn to the wedding, unless, that is, you've taken "casual" to a whole new level. (Or you're <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2007/10/20/low-key-celebrity-wedding-not-an-impossible-dream/">Ricardo and Marcea</a>!)<br /><br />There can't be many brides who'd consider this appropriate "first night" attire. (Can there?) We'd be willing to bet there'd be even fewer grooms who'd be thrilled to see them make an appearance during the honeymoon. Well, <em>maybe,</em> if you're spending a night or two in an <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2007/11/06/variations-on-a-theme-going-to-the-ice-chapel/">ice hotel</a>.<br /><br />So, they're soft and comfy and warm, and it's fun being the bride and all, but really ... where <em>would</em> you wear them?<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.savvysneaks.com/cowepainfunp.html>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/20/well-theyre-probably-very-comfortable/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1258115/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/20/well-theyre-probably-very-comfortable/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>bridal-pajamas</category><category>flannel-pajamas</category><category>honeymoon-attire</category><category>wedding-pajamas</category><dc:creator>Ilona Peltz</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jul 2008 12:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Luxury bedding straight from the honeymoon suite</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/18/luxury-bedding-straight-from-the-honeymoon-suite/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/18/luxury-bedding-straight-from-the-honeymoon-suite/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/18/luxury-bedding-straight-from-the-honeymoon-suite/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/honeymoons/" rel="tag">Honeymoons</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/gifts-and-registries/" rel="tag">Gifts and Registries</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/yhst-72531153481428_2006_34124232.gif" />A night in a honeymoon suite can spoil you. Your own bed just doesn't seem as nice anymore after you've spent a night in the most luxurious linens your skin has ever touched.<br /><br />If you can't stop daydreaming about resting your head on those pillows again, you don't have to move into a luxury hotel. You can find the bedding you loved in that honeymoon suite online at <a href="http://www.pacificpillows.com">Pacific Pillows</a>. This website sells the same bed linens featured in all the fanciest hotel suites in the world.<br /><br />Order them as a wedding gift to yourself, or stick them on your registry as one of your big ticket items. After all, a newlywed couple deserves a welcoming bed.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.pacificpillows.com/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/18/luxury-bedding-straight-from-the-honeymoon-suite/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1259322/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/18/luxury-bedding-straight-from-the-honeymoon-suite/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>bed-linens</category><category>bedding</category><category>bedroom</category><category>comforters</category><category>honeymoon</category><category>honeymoon-suite</category><category>linens</category><category>luxury-hotel</category><category>pacific-pillows</category><category>pillows</category><category>sheets</category><category>wedding-gifts</category><dc:creator>Meg Massie</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>A truly extraordinary honeymoon hotel</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/14/a-truly-extraordinary-honeymoon-hotel/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/14/a-truly-extraordinary-honeymoon-hotel/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/14/a-truly-extraordinary-honeymoon-hotel/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/honeymoons/" rel="tag">Honeymoons</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" alt=""  src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/haringenlighthouse.jpg" />When you imagine your honeymoon, where are you staying?  Are you renting a condo for yourselves, or a luxury suite somewhere fancy?  What makes this vacation special for you?<br /><br />For an unforgettable stay with luxurious accommodations, consider traveling to Harlingen, Netherlands.  Why?  <a href="http://wowwomensworldblog.com/meg/2008/07/13/amazing-hotels-harlingen-lighthouse/">They have some of the coolest hotels in the world</a>.  "Hotel" may not be the best word to describe the Harlingen Lighthouse, since there's only one suite available, but that's what they call this out-of-service lighthouse in the historic docks of Harlingen.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.vuurtoren-harlingen.nl/eng/index1.html">Sister hotels in the same area are the Harbour Crane (in, you guessed it, a crane), and the Lifeboat (yep, it's a lifeboat)</a>.  The most popular, and our favorite, is the lighthouse, with its three story luxury suite.  You can go up to the lantern room for a magnificent view, and listen to shipping traffic on a radio the owners have placed there.  You have to book early, though -- even at &euro;319 per night, the lighthouse is already booked solid through 2008!<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/unique-harlingen-hotels/">Unique Harlingen Hotels</a></strong></p><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/unique-harlingen-hotels/918435/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/haringenlighthouse_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Harlingen Lighthouse" title="Harlingen Lighthouse" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/unique-harlingen-hotels/918437/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/harlingenlighthouse4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Lighthouse Interior" title="Lighthouse Interior" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/unique-harlingen-hotels/918439/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/harlingenlighthouse3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Lighthouse Interior" title="Lighthouse Interior" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/unique-harlingen-hotels/918438/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/harlingenlighthouse2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Lighthouse Interior" title="Lighthouse Interior" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/unique-harlingen-hotels/918473/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/harlifeboat_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Harlingen Lifeboat Hotel" title="Harlingen Lifeboat Hotel" /></a></div><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://wowwomensworldblog.com/meg/2008/07/13/amazing-hotels-harlingen-lighthouse/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/14/a-truly-extraordinary-honeymoon-hotel/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1254647/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/14/a-truly-extraordinary-honeymoon-hotel/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>amsterdam</category><category>crane-hotel</category><category>harlingen</category><category>harlingen-lighthouse</category><category>honeymoons</category><category>hotels</category><category>lifeboat</category><category>lighthouse</category><category>netherlands</category><category>travel</category><category>vacation</category><dc:creator>Meg Massie</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2008 13:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>The perfect wedding present: Your perfect honeymoon</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/the-perfect-wedding-present-your-perfect-honeymoon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/the-perfect-wedding-present-your-perfect-honeymoon/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/the-perfect-wedding-present-your-perfect-honeymoon/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/honeymoons/" rel="tag">Honeymoons</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/gifts-and-registries/" rel="tag">Gifts and Registries</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/culture-clash/" rel="tag">Culture Clash</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/etiquette/" rel="tag">Etiquette</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/second-wedding-1/" rel="tag">Second Wedding</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/944948_saint_lucia.jpg"  alt="" />Here in North America, we have decided that it's tacky to ask for money at your wedding. This is a little ironic since by the standards of some other cultures, the whole North American Big White Wedding Industry is itself an exercise in the very tacky. All this proves is that "tacky" is relative. What would have horrified etiquette mavens of another time is perfectly acceptable today; what seems awful to us is fine to another culture. And you know what? No one's right, no one's wrong. It is what it is.<br /><br />Enter the "<a href="http://registry.buy-our-honeymoon.com/">Buy our Honeymoon</a>" website. Now, even those among us who actually did ask her guests to contribute to her honeymoon (there's at least on one staff here) found this name a bit, well, tacky. But when we investigated a little further, we were pleasantly surprised.<br /><br /><p><a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/the-perfect-wedding-present-your-perfect-honeymoon/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The perfect wedding present: Your perfect honeymoon</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://registry.buy-our-honeymoon.com/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/the-perfect-wedding-present-your-perfect-honeymoon/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1242269/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/the-perfect-wedding-present-your-perfect-honeymoon/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>honeymoon-registry</category><dc:creator>Ilona Peltz</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 10:58:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Venues: Ivy Hotel, San Diego</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/venues-ivy-hotel-san-diego/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/venues-ivy-hotel-san-diego/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/venues-ivy-hotel-san-diego/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/honeymoons/" rel="tag">Honeymoons</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/receptions/" rel="tag">Receptions</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/ceremonies/" rel="tag">Ceremonies</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/ceremony-on-ivys-eden-rooftop200.jpg" />San Diego is not only a perfect wedding city, it's great for your honeymoon, too. With great weather, gorgeous sandy beaches, and lots of great places to visit, you can't go wrong. If you're into trendy places and want a sophisticated, elegant venue, take a look at the <a href="http://www.ivyhotel.com">Ivy Hotel</a>.<br /><br />Featured in Cond&eacute; Nast Traveler's 2008 "Hot List," the Ivy has what you need to plan your wedding. Their rooftop area has city and ocean views. You can use their wedding planner to help get things in order for your big day. And when you book a room for your wedding night, they'll provide you a butler.<br /><br />The trendy night club, Envy, can host your bachelorette party. If you really want to go crazy, though, the Star Suite has king-sized bunk beds, a group-sized shower, and a performance pole. You know, for all of the crazy pole dancing you'll be doing. And if you seriously want to dance, well, they even offer pole dancing lessons.<br /><br />If you view the last days before your wedding as a time to let loose, then some of that crazy stuff may be right for you. But if you prefer to keep it more mellow, you can still take advantage of their ballrooms or use the rooftop for its amazing views.<br /><br />Take a look at the gallery for a few pictures and ideas.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/ivy-hotel-san-diego-1/">Ivy Hotel San Diego</a></strong></p><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/ivy-hotel-san-diego-1/900915/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/bride-on-ivy-rooftop---eden_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Bride on rooftop" title="Bride on rooftop" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/ivy-hotel-san-diego-1/900914/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/eden-rooftop-reception_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Rooftop Reception" title="Rooftop Reception" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/ivy-hotel-san-diego-1/900913/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/ivy-ballroom-reception_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Ballroom" title="Ballroom" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/ivy-hotel-san-diego-1/900912/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/ceremony-on-ivys-eden-rooftop_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Rooftop ceremony" title="Rooftop ceremony" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/ivy-hotel-san-diego-1/900911/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/ivy-hotel---exterior_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Exterior of hotel" title="Exterior of hotel" /></a></div><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/venues-ivy-hotel-san-diego/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1245569/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/venues-ivy-hotel-san-diego/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>san diego</category><category>san-diego</category><category>SanDiego</category><category>venue</category><category>venues</category><dc:creator>Becky Scott</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Wednesday Wedding Wrap-up: July 2, 2008</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/02/wednesday-wedding-wrap-up-july-2-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/02/wednesday-wedding-wrap-up-july-2-2008/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/02/wednesday-wedding-wrap-up-july-2-2008/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/honeymoons/" rel="tag">Honeymoons</a></p><em><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" alt=""  src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/_5455850.jpg" />Wednesday Wedding Wrap-up is a weekly roundup of highlights from the past week, covering wedding blogs and websites, reality TV, even particularly hot scoop right here at AisleDash.

This amazing and beneficial activity, if done at least once a week can also regulate your periods, and, whenever you do it, it increases your sense of smell and taste temporarily, boost your mood, and give women a boost in energy.<br /><br />You're probably guessing by now what "it" is.

<br />You've had your lovely wedding, you're on your lovely honeymoon, and you're just so <em>proud!</em> You've done it! The ceremony was <em>wonderful,</em> and you're so pleased to have this lovely shiny new husband. You want <em>everyone</em> to know!<br /><br />So you buy yourself one of these, just to declare your newlywed status to the world. (Or maybe you even wore the white bikini under a <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/02/13/your-wedding-sarong-easy-breezy-style-for-your-beach-wedding/">sarong</a> for your destination beach wedding!) You can hardly wait to walk along the beach, attired in your bridal bikini, hand in hand with your beloved.<br /><br />It's very sweet, and if you're interested in either of these bikinis, you can find <a href="http://www.chicweddingboutique.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=13&amp;idproduct=21">purchasing information here</a>, but really? We think it's pretty likely that, if you're that eager that people know, everyone in about 500 yards of the two of you would pick you out as newlyweds, even without the labels. Because you'll just be so gosh-darn <em>cute!</em><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.chicweddingboutique.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=13&amp;idproduct=21>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/20/married-and-proud/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1230773/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/20/married-and-proud/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>beach-wedding</category><category>bikini</category><category>bridal-bikini</category><category>bridal-wear</category><category>wedding-bikini</category><dc:creator>Ilona Peltz</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2008 11:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Does your wedding make you a target for crime?</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/19/does-your-wedding-make-you-a-target-for-crime/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/19/does-your-wedding-make-you-a-target-for-crime/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/19/does-your-wedding-make-you-a-target-for-crime/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/honeymoons/" rel="tag">Honeymoons</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/negotiating-speed-bumps/" rel="tag">Negotiating Speed Bumps</a></p><img width="212" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="141" border="0" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/555575_crowbar.jpg" />When you put your wedding announcement in the newspaper, it tells the world that you are happy, in love, getting married to the guy or girl of your dreams -- and that you won't be home that day. Wedding announcements make a crook's job pretty easy, because they know that on your wedding day, you (and often your neighbors, since you probably invited them to the ceremony) are not around to stop or witness a break-in.<br /><br />To guard against wedding day break-ins, we suggest finding a house-sitter for the day. Since your available friends will presumably be at your wedding, you may want to hire someone, or get a friend of a friend to do it. If you can't get anyone to hang out at your place for the day, leave a light on out front and ask your neighbors to park a car or two in your driveway.<br /><br />While you're away on your honeymoon, it's also a good idea to make sure it looks like someone's home. Have a neighbor get your mail and newspaper, or have the post office hold your mail and suspend your newspaper subscription for the week. Set your inside lights on a timer so that it appears someone is inside. For criminals looking for the easy job of robbing an empty house, a little discouragement can be enough to send them away.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/19/does-your-wedding-make-you-a-target-for-crime/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1229366/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/19/does-your-wedding-make-you-a-target-for-crime/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>burglars</category><category>crime</category><category>featured</category><category>honeymoon</category><category>house-sitter</category><category>mail</category><category>newspaper</category><category>robberies</category><category>wedding-announcements</category><dc:creator>Meg Massie</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jun 2008 08:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Two more airlines to charge for checked bags</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/13/two-more-airlines-to-charge-for-checked-bags/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/13/two-more-airlines-to-charge-for-checked-bags/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/13/two-more-airlines-to-charge-for-checked-bags/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/honeymoons/" rel="tag">Honeymoons</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/destination-ceremonies/" rel="tag">Destination Ceremonies</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/budget-advice/" rel="tag">Budget Advice</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/210049_luggage.jpg"  alt="" />Following American Airlines' lead, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25118405/">US Air and United Airlines have announced new fees to check luggage</a>.  Each of the airlines will charge $15 for the first checked bag.  Most airlines have already instituted $25 fees for the second bag, and as of July 1, Southwest will be the only airline to allow two checked bags for free.  <br /><br />Airline industry experts expect to see more charges in the future as airlines struggle to keep up with rising fuel costs.  In addition to the baggage fees, US Air will begin charging for all beverages served on its planes:  $2 for all non-alcoholic drinks, and $7 for alcohol, which is up from $5. <br /><br />As you prepare your wedding travel budget, be sure to figure in these extra fees.  Pack as lightly as possible, bring some extra cash to cover any unexpected charges, and bring your own snacks. <p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25118405/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/13/two-more-airlines-to-charge-for-checked-bags/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1224594/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/13/two-more-airlines-to-charge-for-checked-bags/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>airlines</category><category>american</category><category>charges</category><category>fees</category><category>flying</category><category>honeymoons</category><category>luggage</category><category>southwest</category><category>travel</category><category>united-airlines</category><category>us-air</category><dc:creator>Meg Massie</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jun 2008 09:30:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Lap-dancing for fitness -- and a little honeymoon fun?</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/12/lap-dancing-for-fitness-and-a-little-honeymoon-fun/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/12/lap-dancing-for-fitness-and-a-little-honeymoon-fun/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/12/lap-dancing-for-fitness-and-a-little-honeymoon-fun/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/honeymoons/" rel="tag">Honeymoons</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/do-it-yourself/" rel="tag">Do-It-Yourself</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right"  src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/lap47dance.jpg" alt="" />Looking for a way to burn off a few calories and tone up for the Big Day?

Whether you're traipsing off to Mexico or trotting around Europe, summertime honeymoons lend themselves to sun-dress sandal shopping. And after just a quick afternoon jutting in and out of my favorite stores, it's clear that the styles this summer are too good for the recent Mrs. to pass up. Whether you decide on this <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=13658&amp;pid=498531&amp;scid=498531012">floor-length madras print from Gap</a> or this <a href="http://www.francescascollections.com/Apparel/Dresses/PRD_12519/Pallette+Knife+Dress.jsp">colorful v-neck from Francesca's Collections</a> or any of the other fun, flirty and fantastic dresses in the gallery, make room in your suitcase and save a little wedding money for your honeymoon wardrobe. <br /><br />Feel as beautiful on the beaches of Mexico or the streets of Rome as you did on your wedding day.<br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/summer-honeymoon-dresses/">summer honeymoon dresses</a></strong></p><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/summer-honeymoon-dresses/849301/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/sku_12519_blu_v1_m56577569830489571_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Palette Knife Dress" title="Palette Knife Dress" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/summer-honeymoon-dresses/849300/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/sku_10732_v1_m56577569830486468_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Sunday's Best Dress" title="Sunday's Best Dress" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/summer-honeymoon-dresses/849299/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/sku_9397_v1_m56577569830488328_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Bahamas Resort Sundress" title="Bahamas Resort Sundress" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/summer-honeymoon-dresses/849298/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/sku_7935_v1_m56577569830488324_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Tuscany Villa Dress" title="Tuscany Villa Dress" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/summer-honeymoon-dresses/849297/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/on562694-01p01v01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Women's Printed Maxi Tube Dresses" title="Women's Printed Maxi Tube Dresses" /></a></div><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/09/summer-dresses-for-your-summer-honeymoon/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1219224/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/09/summer-dresses-for-your-summer-honeymoon/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>dress</category><category>dresses</category><category>honeymoon</category><category>summer</category><category>sundress</category><category>sundresses</category><dc:creator>Jennifer Canzoneri</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 09 Jun 2008 10:30:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>What's your #1 honeymoon priority?</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/04/whats-your-1-honeymoon-priority/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/04/whats-your-1-honeymoon-priority/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/04/whats-your-1-honeymoon-priority/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/honeymoons/" rel="tag">Honeymoons</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/after-the-i-dos/" rel="tag">After the 'I Do's'</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/polls/" rel="tag">Polls</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/praia_beach_brasil_270202_l.jpg" />If we were to base life on romance novels and soap operas, we wouldn't even bother with this question -- obviously, the main thing on everyone's mind when it comes time for the honeymoon is sex, right? You'll go to a swanky hotel with a gorgeous bed and get busy four times a day, just like everyone else.<br /><br />Except, in real life, everyone else isn't doing that. In fact, many newlyweds don't rank sex even close to being their top priority on their honeymoon. According to <a href="http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/weddings/Brits+Avoid+Honeymoon+Hanky+Panky-120.html">this article</a>, couples are more interested in getting a tan, seeing the sights, and (yawn) reading a book than they are in getting busy.<br /><br />We understand that, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2007/12/12/not-tonight-honey-im-too-tired/">on your wedding night</a>, you might be a little to tired to do the deed, and that's totally understandable.

Whether you're flying to get to your destination wedding or boarding a jet to fly away on your honeymoon, you might be concerned about all the changes with airline policy lately.  The TSA regulations for clearing security have always been a nightmare for travelers, but now airlines are <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/24/traveling-for-your-wedding-or-honeymoon-bring-some-extra-cash/">charging fees for checked bags</a>, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/05/02/flying.slower.ap/">flying slower to save fuel</a>, and we hear it's very likely that they'll start charging for beverages and snacks on the plane.<br /><br />It's no secret that the airline industry has been reeling as fuel prices rise, the economy slumps, and fewer people travel.  The airlines are simply making these changes so they don't have to jack up ticket prices for flights -- because they know travelers wouldn't be willing to pay them.  But before you angrily lash out at the counter agent for all these changes, think about how much they really affect you.  The biggest thing is the fee for checked luggage -- not all airlines are doing this now, but most are expected to start charging for each piece of luggage you check.  Help yourself out by packing more efficiently -- use fewer bags, or get as much as you can into carry-ons (without being that jerk who tries to stuff a giant suitcase into the overhead bin while you stand behind him forever waiting to get to your seat -- you know who you are -- we hate you).  <br /><br />As for slowing down flights, <a href="http://wowwomensworldblog.com/meg/2008/05/27/rising-fuel-prices-and-your-travel-plans/">this is nothing to get upset about</a> -- most airlines are saving millions of dollars and tons of fuel by simply slowing down by a few miles per hour and adding only a couple of minutes to each flight.  And even with the extra fees for snacks and beverages, you are still allowed to bring your own food and drinks onto the plane.  No one will force you to buy a $2 Diet Coke.  <br /><br />All of these changes are necessary for the airlines to stay in business without charging you even more for your tickets.  None of the new policies should come as much of a surprise to anyone, and the truth is that they don't even really affect the average airline passenger all that much.  This doesn't have to be a major point of stress in your wedding planning.

At ClassyBride.com, you can find a sleek and colorful <a href="http://commerce.idmi.net/ecommerce/catalog_detail.asp?CID=121&amp;CI=1480&amp;PI=31182">travel envelope</a> to store important documents -- airline tickets, marriage license, reservations, passports, etc. The envelope expands to hold as many documents/tickets as you may need to bring along with you to your destination wedding or relaxing honeymoon making it easier than ever to keep everything important in one, stylish location. Purchase one for yourself -- in blue or fuchsia -- or for any traveling bride as a nice shower gift. We've talked at length at AisleDash about how to reduce the stresses of traveling for any wedding-related event, and it's always nice when we find one more thing to help wedding travel be as easy and organized as possible. And it never hurts when what we find is also stylish  to boot.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://classybride.com/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/26/stay-organized-while-traveling-in-style/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1205666/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/26/stay-organized-while-traveling-in-style/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>destination-wedding</category><category>destination-weddings</category><category>honeymoon</category><category>honeymoons</category><category>travel</category><category>traveling</category><dc:creator>Jennifer Canzoneri</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 26 May 2008 12:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Traveling for your wedding or honeymoon?

As <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/BusinessTravel/story?id=4904408&amp;page=1">ABC News reported</a>, American Airlines announced this past Wednesday that all air travelers will be charged $15 for the first bag they check and $25 for each additional bag due to rapidly increasing fuel costs. What's more, you won't see any added services or perks after you fork over the extra money, so if you're debating between checking or carrying-on your luggage, perhaps this will sway you to pack carefully -- leave those extra few pairs of shoes you are 99% positive you won't wear at home -- and take your suitcases on board along with your US Weekly and extra pillow. If you're traveling for your wedding or honeymoon, you've undoubtedly spent quite a bit of money on the trip already, so paying an additional amount to bring clothes and necessities on your trip seems more than a little irritating. Although it can't be known how long this new system will be in place or how many other airlines may adopt it in the future, it is currently in effect, so keep it in mind when traveling for your wedding or any wedding-related events. You have enough to worry about -- you shouldn't have to be surprised with any extra costs.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/24/traveling-for-your-wedding-or-honeymoon-bring-some-extra-cash/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1204390/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/24/traveling-for-your-wedding-or-honeymoon-bring-some-extra-cash/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>air-travel</category><category>airplane</category><category>american airlines</category><category>AmericanAirlines</category><category>destination</category><category>destination-wedding</category><category>featured</category><category>honeymoon</category><category>suitcase</category><category>travel</category><category>traveling</category><dc:creator>Jennifer Canzoneri</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 24 May 2008 10:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Elope in the lap of luxury</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/23/elope-in-the-lap-of-luxury/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/23/elope-in-the-lap-of-luxury/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/23/elope-in-the-lap-of-luxury/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/honeymoons/" rel="tag">Honeymoons</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/alternative-weddings/" rel="tag">Alternative Weddings</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/eloping/" rel="tag">Eloping</a></p><img width="400" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="278" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/05/elopements-01-g.jpg" /><br /><br />Have you always dreamed of climbing the heights of Macchu Picchu? Why not get married there, in an authentic Andean ceremony? If you think that sounds amazing, but would be a logistical nightmare, you're right - if you're thinking of having a traditional wedding. But if you consider eloping, well, then it's a little more feasible...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.forbestraveler.com/luxury/elopements-story.html"> Forbes Traveler</a> has compiled a list of some of the most stylish and unique places to elope, because, as they put it: <em>The classic elopement ... has been modernized and redefined. It's less about keeping secrets than keeping the experience personal-and perfect</em>.<br /><br />The popular image of an elopement is that it's a spur-of-the-moment decision made by a young couple sneaking away to get married before anyone (read: parents) can stop them.<br /><br />Of course, we all know that's not always the case anymore. Instead, elopements can be as elegant or complex as any other wedding - except for the fact that there is no guest list. (Which let's face it, is a major source of stress for many engaged couples.)<br /><br />Check the article for some truly amazing locales, and get some inspiration for your perfect elopement!<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.forbestraveler.com/luxury/elopements-story.html>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/23/elope-in-the-lap-of-luxury/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1200941/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/23/elope-in-the-lap-of-luxury/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>destinations</category><category>elopement</category><category>eloping</category><category>honeymoon</category><category>travel</category><dc:creator>Roxanna Sarmiento</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 23 May 2008 17:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Fitness on your honeymoon?</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/20/fitness-on-your-honeymoon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/20/fitness-on-your-honeymoon/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/05/20/fitness-on-your-honeymoon/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/honeymoons/" rel="tag">Honeymoons</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right"  src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/05/fit7ness.jpg" alt="" />Unless you're the avid outdoorsy couple, "fitness" and "honeymoon" are probably at opposite ends of your vacation  spectrum.
