Honeymoon DISASTER!

Although the wedding was gorgeous, Natalie’s honeymoon was a VERY different story. Natalie and Ben had booked a flight and reservations to the other side of the world- St. Lucia! This was their dream honeymoon and they spent accordingly; every last dime of their savings they spent on this trip, but they thought it to be well worth the memories. They could have never been more wrong.

After the wedding, the new couple hopped on a plane just as excited as they could be. They had the whole trip planned out with a packed itinerary for every day full of fun adventures and sightseeing. They get there in St. Lucia and have just enough time to rest off their jet lag before Natalie starts feeling ill. My sister began to have terrible stomach pains and got to where she couldn’t even eat which made her even weaker. She ended up in bed the WHOLE TRIP! Poor Ben stayed in the room with her constantly like a good husband. Natalie thought about going to the Emergency room but tried to stick it out until they got back home. She was pretty sure she had ulcers in her stomach.

They took their first flight back to Miami where they were supposed to catch another flight to Birmingham from which they would drive back to Madison. But that didn’t work out and Natalie found herself in the Miami hospital still extremely far away from home because she was in so much pain she couldn’t even walk onto the plane! The hospital admitted her for THREE days and still did not find the problem.

When they finally arrived back home, they thought the nightmare of a honeymoon was over just to find out that insurance wouldn’t pay for her E.R. visit and that they would have to pay out of pocket- lots of money they didn’t have! Needless to say, I have never heard such a horror story of a honeymoon in my life! They are still trying to catch up on their finances but they say they want to redo it the right way in a few years! I sure hope it goes better next time around!
