It’s a shame that wedding dresses can be only worn on one’s wedding day. Remember that episode in F.R.I.E.N.D.S when Monica wanted a job where she could wear her wedding dress every day? Well, that’s most of us!

However, this bride couldn’t stand her wedding gown being trapped in the wardrobe, so she took it out for a spin to 33 different countries in the world!

Nick and Zoe Aust, known as @marrymeintravel on Instagram, got hitched in December 2017. They quit their regular 9-5 jobs and started their picture perfect adventure together.

Sometimes you have to stop worrying about what other people may think. Someone will always have an opinion. But the most important opinion is what you think of yourself. So pickup that hobby. Go to the gym for the first time in years. Travel to somewhere no one you know has ever gone to. And if you really don’t care what other people think… go swimming in your wedding dress😉😏🏊🏼‍♀️ . #MarryMeIn the Indian Ocean 🌊 . . . . #seychelles #seychellesisland #theknot #africa #travelinstagram #mydestinationguide #weddingdresses #speechlessplaces #greenweddingshoes #femmetravel #voyaged #travelandleisure #travelanddestinations #iamtb #dametraveler #mustdotravels #citizenfemme #traveltagged #ootdgals #spainpassion #europe_vacations #topspainphoto #spain_vacations #naturegramy #TLPicks #spain #spaintravel #visitspain #travelblogger

“Life is too short to only wear your wedding dress once. And the world is too big to only stay in your little town your whole life. Our hope is that when people see our pictures they feel nothing but inspired to explore a new place, try a new hobby and fulfill that dream they’ve always had”, said the couple.

As we travel throughout our now 33rd country (Seychelles) we can’t help but feel nostalgic about what the past 264 days have been filled with. We’ve traveled to countries we once dreamed of seeing. We’ve stood in front of Mount Everest, swam in the Dead Sea, saw Turkey from a hot air ballon, flew through a cyclone in Fiji and can honestly say we have eaten our way through every. single. country. 😂🤭 . We’ve done a lot. And now… we feel ready and most importantly, excited, to come home. In a few days we will end our 9 month long honeymoon in Seychelles and head back to the States. As sad as we are to not be full time, living out of a suitcase travelers, we’re also excited to see our families, to go to the dentist, to see our grandma and most importantly to smooch our almost 4 month old niece who we haven’t met yet! 👶🏻😍 . Marry Me In started because we had this dream to travel. We’ll always have that dream (which is why we already have trips planned for just about every month we’re home 🤭). We just won’t be living out of a suitcase, but we’ll still be traveling here and there, we’ll have much better wifi so we can actually blog and we’ll have cleaner teeth 🙌🏼 . So here’s a throw back to Sri Lanka, our 6th country visited. By this time we were so tired. We had no idea how exhausting full time traveling would be. We originally planned to be on the go but quickly realized we needed a break so we headed straight for Mirissa Beach where everyone’s a surfer with a surfer mentality 🤙🏼 and nothing opens before 2pm 😴😴

According to sources, Nick and Zoe came up with the idea of Marry Me In Travel on their very first date!

“We hinted at traveling the world together one day”, said the couple.

From Sri Lanka to Paris, the world became a canvas for Nick and Joe in 2018. The two would take breathtaking pictures in each of the stunning locations.

We originally planned to train from Munich, Germany to Zurich, Switzerland but then spontaneously we realized we could drive it instead. So we rented a car. Drove from Germany, into Austria, made a stop in Liechtenstein, visited authentic towns, saw amazing scenic views, added 2 more countries into the mix and all the while it was cheaper and shorter than taking the train. Depending on where you are in Europe you can easily drive from country to country. It’s worth the research and some times ends up being the better option! . #MarryMeIn Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland 🇨🇭 . . . . . #switzerland #inLOVEwithSWITZERLAND #switzerland_vacations #topswitzerlandphoto #travelinstagram #spain_vacations #mydestinationguide #speechlessplaces #backpackwithme #femmetravel #spain🇪🇸 #spaintravel #voyaged #travelandleisure #spain #visitspain #travelanddestinations #iamtb #dametraveler #mustdotravels #citizenfemme #traveltagged #ootdgals #europe_vacations #topeuropephoto #TLPicks #travelblogger #travelwithme #creativetravelcouples

“Zoe chose the Ferrera gown which ended up being the prefect dress for her travels. It was inspired by the spirit of a fun-loving bride with distinct taste,” said Watters Dunbar, Director of Watters’ Style from where Zoe bought the gown.

“I try on the dress and my mom and dad are speechless, I’m speechless. I feel like a bride. I can hear Nick over and over again saying ‘You can do anything, be anyone, wear what you want to wear,’” Zoe says.

Nick and Joe always had travel plans going on in their minds. But they never knew thought that they would take the dress along!

“Neither one of us expected it to hold up after the first few flights! To the naked eye it seems like a delicate dress. I don’t know how Watters did it, but they basically made an indestructible gown.”

“This dress has seen trains, boats, flights, Tuk Tuk rides, taxis and a helicopter ride over Mount Everest. It’s seen snow and incredible heat, rain and fog. It’s been covered in dirt and washed in the Indian Ocean” – Zoe.

Zoe swam in the ocean, climbed the Great Wall of China, rode a bicycle in Japan, and did a ton of other crazy stuff wearing that dress.

“But my greatest accomplishment while wearing it was marrying Nick. I’m so incredibly thankful for all this dress has withstood, but that will always be my favorite memory in it,” said Zoe.

We love sharing beautiful places, amazing food, nice people and tips to help with travel but the truth is, sometimes traveling just sucks (lol). Sometimes nothing goes right, everything gets delayed, delayed again and then canceled. You’re met with unkind people, usually you have to pay a ridiculous amount of money along the way. There’s stress and frustration. This all has encompassed our last few days trying to get to Brussels. After 10+ hours in different train stations throughout the Netherlands, delay after delay and cancel after cancel, we finally had to come to terms with the fact we just couldn’t get to Brussels. So we decided to push Germany 2 days ahead. Unfortunately there were more delays and more cancels. At 4am this morning we finally got to our hotel room after pleading with a taxi driver to take us the 1 1/2 hour trip for more money than the hotel even costs 🤔😩 . So right now we’re in Germany, missing Brussels and re-grouping. We wanted to share this because we know a lot of people wonder where our bad days are. We genuinely try to find the positives always but sometimes travel just sucks 😑 . 3 years ago yesterday we went out on our first date. Yesterday we spent the day in a 95 degree Netherlands train station eating rice cakes. The only advice we can give when days like this happen is to take a deep breath and remember you’re not alone. That delay is happening to every other person that’s in the station with you, like the person you just argued with. The mom with three kids needs a seat more than you do so be generous. The person that pushed past you running is trying to catch their 7th train of the day. The rude lady behind the counter is rude because, well we’re not sure why she’s a jerk but I’m sure she’s got some stuff going on at home. And that large shirtless guy in the train station is very hot so maybe offer him a water… or a shirt. 🤭 . The truth is bad days suck, travel involved or not. They suck for everyone, even people who don’t show it on their Instagram. So take a deep breath, eat your rice cake (or don’t they’re so bad) and remember we’re all going through something ❤️

There’s no denying every part of Israel is filled with history. Regardless of what you practice everywhere you turn there’s another historical spot. This area is significant because it’s believed that Jesus gave his ‘Sermon on the Mount’ here. Also known today as the Mount of Beatitudes, located on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee. The Sermon can be found in the Bible in the book of Matthew in chapters 5, 6 and 7; and is actually the longest continuation of Jesus speaking in the entire New Testament. It’s also the most widely quoted, with teachings known as the Beatitudes, ‘Loving your enemies’ and ‘Light of the world’ to name a few 🌅 . We’re excited to take you through the different religions and cultures presently in Israel and hope you add it to your list of places to travel! . . . . #israel #israel_best #israel_daily #israelbest_photo #galilee #seaofgalilee #speechlessplaces #sheisnotlost #backpackwithme #womenwhoexplore #femmetravel #darlingescapes #sidewalkerdaily #iamtb #dametraveler #mustdotravels #girlslovetravel #followingthegirls_ #creativetravelcouples #wanderingweddings #dirtybootsandmessyhair #travelustcouples #globecouples #authenticlovemag #firstandlasts #radlovestories #greenweddingshoes #muchlove_ig #junebugweddings
