I remember when I got married (it will be sixteen years ago as of June 22nd) and went on my honeymoon to Hawaii. As we were traveling, for the first time as man and wife, I wondered if people could tell we were on our honeymoon (aside from the shiny rings and the public displays of affection). These luggage tags can make the announcement for the newlyweds. They will also make it easy to see their luggage on the carousel and ensure that their bags make it to the right location!
