I think we will be over, but I really don't know since I don't know what we're doing- he won't tell me!

Probably Memphis, TN. We don't have any major airports around us. Jackson MS, New orleans, Birmingham, and Atlanta are all options.

We're going to splurge a bit. We'll be in Hawaii and neither of us have ever been. It'll definitely be an adventure and we want to take in and do as much as we can so it'll be over.

Way under actually. Our condo we rented is only $100/night and we are staying 4 nights! And there's no way we'll be spending that much money in only 5 days in Destin, Florida lol. (At least I hope not?!??!)

We will definitely be under. We don't have a destination set yet, but our most expensive trip of the 8-10 we have been on was only $1,800 for a week in Iceland with our own rental car.

Neither. My future in laws are going to pay for a couple nights in ocean city, Maryland for us since we will be saving for a house instead of a big honeymoon.
