I just want to add, I don’t recommend this. I had booked this hunt like two years before we got married not as a honeymoon, just as a hunt for me and we didn’t have any money for a honeymoon. So she just tagged along the hunt and said “this is our honeymoon”. Maybe once we have an empty nest I will renew our vows and take her on a real honeymoon!
We will have been married 60 years this August 5th .
Hubby booked the honeymoon , as my dad had paid for the wedding reception..
little did I know how I’d hate it all!
He was very drunk , and I was very angry .
We stay in London the first night at a big posh hotel. As I say he was drunk and pass out across the bed .
I was hungry and cried myself to sleep.
Next day we traveled by train down to the Devon coast . “Sea view Hotel”. I was 19 he was 23, everyone staying there were old.
I worked in London so was very fashion conscious.
This hotel was about a mile along a cart track...no road....I had 4” high heels... it was murder.
then on top of this nightmare ...I found he had been a jockey in training in this village ...all he wanted to do was revisit his old haunts and try to find old friends he’d made as a lad . I felt alone, bored , and neglected.
It was horrible . When I thought it couldn’t get any worse...it started raining !!
needless to say ..the only time we have celebrated our wedding was for our 40th when our kids sent us off on a cruise .
Dave is 83 now and me 79... to this day he says -“ Im not a sentimental or romantic guy.”
No kidding! LOL
But we got saved three years into our marriage ....he is a wonderful man , and my strong rock ...we’ve had a good marriage in spite of the rocky start . :)
Those rocky starts are not an uncommon thing sister. That God brought you together and has kept you together all of these years is the amazing blessing of God. Ours was not 3 but 4 years into it before God took an hand in it to bind us together. That is why we renewed our vows after 5 years for that 2nd time He was most definitely in it with us. I was such an old man at the start [28 years old and she was 21] we may never attain to your 60 years, but only 1 more to the Jubilee year of 50!We will have been married 60 years this August 5th .

Branson is quite the interesting place. I've been there many times. Did you ever hear about the duck boat accident a few years or so back? Pretty tragic.
They did for awhile. It was three years ago when 17 people died in that incident. But they reopened this year, I believe.
So it was a bit over 3 years ago....
