After a private ceremony just the two of us, we planned a destination group wedding in the Dominican Republic for 35 of our closest friends and family from across the world. Here is exactly what it cost, why we chose Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada in Puerto Plata, and what I would do differently.
Month: June 2026
Bologna, Italy & San Marino
From a discounted first class Italo train to Bologna, to accidentally taking the wrong train to San Marino and not caring one bit, this leg of our honeymoon was all about the food, the micro-countries, and squeezing every last drop of value out of our points stash before flying home in business class.
Naples, Italy
Before our Italian honeymoon kicked off, we squeezed in a day in London to reunite with an old university friend, then flew to Naples on 9,000 Avios to chase down the best pizza of our lives, visit Pompeii, and explore one of the world’s oldest cities on a tight points budget.
