    We were a bit over. Around 5K.

    We figured our honeymoon was a once in a lifetime trip.

    Haven't booked it yet but for flights and hotels to Ireland, our estimate was $2500 for a week. If we extend that to 10 days, fly first class, and food/drink, I imagine we will be over that estimate.

    Over...even with our round trips flights to Vietnam being completely free with our frequent flyer miles, we’ll still be over.

    We're over at $7200. It's for 8 nights at an all-inclusive (one of the top rooms & club level) and includes flights.

    We aren't planning our honeymoon until after the wedding, but I sure hope we are way under the average, lol. We don't plan to do anything extravagant as far as out of the country beach honeymoon. It'll be a more low key mountain honeymoon, so I think we can do it.

    We got our all inclusive trip for just under $3k, but after spending money and excursions we were probably over.

    Spot on! We got a great deal so our 8 day all-inclusive trip, including flights and “extras”, is costing us right about $4500.

    I think we're pretty set on California, Yosemite area. It's just the detail we haven't planned out yet.

    Over - with flight, all inclusive resort, activities, and a little bit of spending money ($about $500 for activities we don't want to book ahead of time), we will be coming in at about $7500
