Will Ferrell allegedly cooked up a scheme to make sure his friend, a struggling actor, had a deluxe honeymoon. He disguised his plan with the help of the man's agent, who called to send him and his new bride to Paris for a week for an audition that never happened--and then on to Rome, where the audition again failed to happen while the couple was enjoying a week-long Roman holiday.
Was he pissed when he found out he didn't have a job? Maybe, but hey, free honeymoon, right?
It was sure nice of Will, but what about the rest of us? No matter how much you travel, your honeymoon can be a bear to plan--and pay for. Whether your parents or guests are chipping in, or you're buying it yourself, you fantasize about only having one honeymoon so you want to make it right.
One easy way to trim the fat without sacrificing? Travel somewhere off-season. Europe is good right now, despite the Euro, but the Caribbean is better next fall. Check out this list of off-season destinations to help you plan. Oh, and congrats on the wedding, Will Ferrell's friend!

Get out your sweatbands and tube socks. You'll need them for this week's pick, "Semi Pro," starring one of our faves, Will Ferrell. He plays the owner, promoter, coach, and star player of the Flint Michigan Tropics of the American Basketball Association.
Trouble arises when the NBA decides it's going to incorporate the best teams of the ABA and forgo all the rest. The Flint Tropics isn't one of the best and Ferrell decides to hire soon-to-be retiree Monix (Woody Harrelson) to revive things. You can imagine the hilarity that ensues.
This one was actually filmed in Flint and in that vein we offer you some great things to check out in Car Town USA:
Where To Stay: Avon House B&B Surprised? We were too. Flint does have a charming little B&B where you can spend the night for under $100. Built in 1893 by the Salisbury family, the Avon is within walking distance to downtown and has three bedrooms, all done up Victorian style.
Where To Eat: Red Rooster Makuchs This is a town favorite and one of the more upscale dining options. Try the Michigan whitefish--let us know if it's different than other whitefish. Reservations are recommended.
Where To See: Motor Cities National Heritage Museum Ok, this is actually in Detroit (nearby) but is actually part of the National Parks Department because it holds such an important place in US history. Tour the area where the first Ford was built or see the actual homes of the original auto barons. Hit up the Buick research center to see early car artifacts. Gearheads will be right at home.
