Adrienne, LOL!
Snowflake, don't worry, if you've gotten your tickets off a web site, print everything and bring it to the airport with you. I've never had any problems with any of the airlines doing this, and I've traveled on Delta, US Airways, Southwest, and Spirit with the printouts of my itineraries from my web confirmations.
Buon Viaggio,

Hi snow,
Your broker will give you a confirmation number.
Call the airline and make sure that you are in their computer system.
They can also give you a reference number.
Bring these numbers with you when you go to the airport.
No need for paper tickets anymore.
However, some airlines are still using paper tickets. Expect an extra charge for this.

Hi snowflake - I'll do my best to be nice! Hope your honeymoon is wonderful and the marriage is forever and ever.
Is this your first time flying anywhere? If not, things work the same way internationally as domestically (if you're American). You'll need a passport and have to check in earlier but other than that it's the same old routine.
Except - free drinks on international flights! Tell the flight attendants it's your honeymoon - maybe they'll give you a bottle of champagne!
Good luck (I'm assuming you're the bride).

I'm not sure exactly the question, but here's my friendly reply- Your air ticket can be issued two ways: 1) paper ticket that comes to you by regular mail or 2) e-ticket where you will have a confirmation code number to give to the airline counter person or to put into a self-checkin machine yourself, you can print this from your own computer.
Either one is fine. If you book on the internet likely you will be issued an e-ticket. If you telephone an airlines they may send a paperticket (on British Airway a $10 fee covered the phone call and paper ticket).
Feliz luna de miel (that's Spanish... anyone know happy honeymoon in Italian, please?)

I book many of my trips through expedia. usually for domestic flights you'll get an e-ticket. for international they'll send you a paper ticket. i have never had any problems with either. travelocity is a reputable company; don't worry about it.

In the last year I've flow economy on 3 international flights and all drinks were free. They were on Delta, AIr France and British Airways.
I know that wasn't your original question but I thought I'd clear that up.

Delta started to charge for alcoholic drinks in economy class on international routes back in 2002, so I doubt very much you got free drinks, unless there was a problem with the flight and on some occasions the purser may decide to give out free drinks to make up for any delays or other problems.

I flew on a Delta ticket to Paris in May.
One way was on a real Delta flight that charged for drinks in coach. The other way was an Air France codeshare flight that did not charge for alcohol in coach.

Just a note...We just came back and United had issued us paper tickets..for United and Luthansa..United changed our flight..by phone..and we never received any new tickets. Glad I took all with though as even though they had changed they wanted the original paper ticket..I would prefer paperless!!
