ahoyne9After 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.

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.
South Island, New Zealand
From starry nights in Lake Tekapo to the thrilling Shotover Jet in Queenstown, follow our unforgettable road trip through New Zealand’s South Island. We explored hidden gems like the Catlins, got engaged by Lake Manapouri, cruised through Doubtful Sound, and indulged in world-class burgers and meat pies—all while soaking in breathtaking scenery.
Perth & Brisbane, Australia
From luxury flights and beachside stays to unexpected cyclones and kangaroo encounters, our journey from Singapore to Perth and Brisbane packed in remote work, creative points redemptions, and a taste of both the chill and wild sides of Australia—all while inching closer to our final destination: New Zealand.
