    From Tokyo to Cape Town, a New Jersey couple spent their honeymoon in 33 countries, taking pictures in their wedding attire every step of the way.

    Nick and Zoe Aust, behind the Instagram page @MarryMeinTravel, got married at the stroke of midnight on New Years of 2018. After vowing on their first date to travel the world together, they spent the next 10 months jet-setting to destination after destination, collecting additional wedding photos in all of their favorite stops.

    "When we left, we really didn't have an idea of how long we'd go for. We didn't want to put expectations on ourselves just in case something happened and we had to head home early," Zoe said.

    "We made a promise that if the trip ever started to take a toll on either of us, we'd head home and there would be no judgement," Zoe explained.
