Ever wonder where the rich and famous go to frolic on their honeymoons? Elizabeth Arrighi Boorsting, public relations manager for the historic Queen Mary hotel and attraction in Long Beach, California, decided to do some research and find out.

She tracked down the vacation celebration spots of Hollywood names from Paula Abdul to Loretta Young as well as noteworthy musicians, politicians, literary figures, and sports heroes.

Printed in 1998 by Open Road Publishing, the book is organized by state, with a few Mexican and Canadian romantic getaways included. In addition to spotlighting famous honeymooners who wed or unwound afterwards at each property, Boorsting also includes useful information on each resort, its spaces most conducive to holding a wedding, a brief history, prices, and anecdotes.
