I don't think you need do much apart from starting to save the cash for your honeymoon and getting it booked with the travel agent by putting down a deposit. As for honeymoon location, you could either make it a joint decision between the two of you or choose where to go yourself, keeping it as a surprise, so that she won't know where she's going until she gets to the airport or bus station.

It doesn't always happen of course, but tradition dictates that the bride's father coughs up the cash for the wedding. In most cases the bride and her mother get all wound-up and excited and do most of the planning such as who to have as bridesmaids, the guest list, where to hold the reception, who makes the wedding cake, dresses, suits, flowers etc. etc. If so, just let them get on with it. Those aspects are best left to the women anyway. As the planning process gets underway you'll most probably find that you'll be on the outside looking in, as it were!

Manchester or Rochdale are great places for a honeymoon, the traditional English countryside, great range of restaurants, tourist attractions,

and good range of shops!

Hope this helps ;)-
