May 1-21st have virtually no appeal to me, and will be spent thinking about and packing/prepping for my honeymoon. Come the 22nd, I’ll be whisked away from my mundane Manhattan existence (via an economy seat on a red-eye flight) to Rome, Italy. Ciao Bella!

I’m sure the first two-thirds of the month have lots in store, but frankly, I’ve got a one track mind and a 119-day Duolingo streak, so you’ll have to bear with me while my upcoming getaway consumes my every thought (and entire personality).

You know a paywall’s about to hit in like, two scrolls, right? Consider becoming a paid Blister below to bypass it!

While it’s standard practice to go on your honeymoon immediately after your wedding, I’m grateful that we decided to take a beat instead. We got to spend the days immediately after our wedding reliving the day with family — then, we stole away to the Catskills for a minimoon to hold us over. Six months and some change later, we’re ready to take a great, big trip and make even more memories together.

With that, let’s talk details and take a look at my Italian mood board, shall we? Andiamo!
