It’s all fun and games until your pants don’t fit anymore. Jaime Case blogged this week about one of the nearly unavoidable side effects of a national road trip – expanding the waistline horizon. Not missing the irony, her very next posting was about 31 flavors and highly-sugared coffee drinks.

What Is Wedding Road Trip?

Instead of asking guests to attend their wedding reception, Jaime Case and Chris Hodges hit the road to see them! In their hometowns, and often in their living rooms! In addition to spending more quality time with each person they visited, they also wanted to avoid spending a huge chunk of change on what would have been one day. Why not spread it out over six weeks, spend lots of time with the people important in their lives and enjoy the drive in between?

So they made a plan, mapped out the 250 people that they’d like to visit, borrowed a 2010 Ford Fusion and set out on the journey.

Officially, the wedding road trip is a pre-wedding road trip around the country to see friends and family prior to signing a marriage certificate. This trip focuses on learning more about marriage and the commitment therein.
