What are you girls wearing as bras under your dress? I just bought one of those bras that the cups stick to you. Is that a mistake?

We live in PEI but are getting married in his hometown of Halifax. We may not be able to afford to take a honeymoon right away. I want to at least try to go somewhere quiet for 3 days after the wedding to relax. Can anyone recommend a place that is close to the water, romantic and not too expensive. TIA!
