This coming weekend Ben DiFrancesco and his fiancée, Melissa, will be getting married in their hometown of Philadelphia. Following the ceremony the couple is planning to go on a honeymoon just like most other married couples but this honeymoon will surely be very different from many others.

The big difference is that Ben and Melissa will not be travelling simply for pleasure but also as a way to give back to others who need their help. Ben and Melissa both say that they had been looking for a good way to help with Habitat for Humanity and volunteering in Costa Rica during their honeymoon is what they decided on.

Of course the DiFrancescos are not the only honeymoon couple to do something like this. Habitat for Humanity says every so often a group of newlyweds announce that they will be volunteering as part of their honeymoon and along with that often comes all sorts of monetary donations as well.

Ben and Melissa even found a way to get friends and family involved in the entire ordeal as well. Rather than asking for gifts or money from guests they encouraged guests to either donate money to Habitat for Humanity or even accompany them on their expedition to Costa Rica. According to the couple at least a few close friends decided to step up and join them on the trip to Costa Rica while many more guests made a donation to help out the cause.

For months people have been anticipating the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton and that day finally came. The two were married Friday at Westminster Abbey and many say it may have been one of the most watched recent events; millions of people reportedly watched the event from all parts of the world.

Not surprisingly every aspect of the royal wedding was well planned and carefully prepared so everything went off just as perfectly as the royal family could have wanted. Perhaps the biggest complaint people had was that it took William and Kate so long to actually get married.

Kate and William reportedly met over ten years ago while both of them were attending St. Andrew’s University; they have been together for nearly that long as well. Up until the wedding announcement came last year many analysts were concerned about whether the wedding would ever happen; today however Kate and William have proved all the doubters wrong by officially getting married.

Of course the wedding was a traditional wedding ceremony though there was quite a bit going on before and after as well. Much of the world watched all of the events live on TV and they were not disappointed by the beautiful wedding and other festivities. The world as a whole has extended congratulations to the happy couple through the massive fanfare surrounding the event and now analyst say there likely won’t be another royal wedding for quite some time
