All engaged couples dream of their future honeymoon, which typically involves over-the-top sex on some remote tropical island. This couple decided to go with the exotic island, but chose a different type of honeymoon:
After dating for roughly a year-and-a-half the couple, who live in Louisville, decided to tie the knot when they figured out things didn't get much better. In 18 months, Rene and Bruce had been on a turkey hunting trip (he got one, she just went along to watch), went deep sea fishing (she caught a 6-foot-1 blacktip shark), deer hunted together (this past season she killed two), went on her first hunt for shed antlers (she found one) and finally decided to get married.
First you go to Jamaica, which is good. Then you get married, which is even better. Then after you've spent the best part of the week at a snazzy resort you ... hop on a plane and get back to East Tennessee in time for opening day of turkey season.
After getting off the plane from Jamaica in Atlanta the couple didn't even take the time to knock the sand from their shoes. They got in their car - where they had stashed guns, calls and camo - and drove to AEDC Wildlife Management Area. They slept in the car, then at daylight started hunting.
That has got to be the best story I've read today. What an inspiration to all young couples out there who are planning on fulfilling the same old rite in an overpriced hotel room somewhere. Why not grab your guns and begin hunting turkeys instead, to really see what each other is made of?
