Your Honeymoon - What should you do? Where should you go? Part 1
Usually, not as much time is spent on the honeymoon as the wedding, which seems odd to me. The honeymoon is the time that you celebrate the beginning of your married life. This is the one time, probably for at least a year, that you will be away from everyone and all of life’s stresses and can really concentrate on each other.
But this doesn’t mean that you need to spend your life’s savings on this either. After all, it really is a vacation, so be frugal and wise when choosing where you want to go. That is, unless you’re independently wealthy! Then have a ball!
Traditionally, the honeymoon is paid for by the groom. But today, more than not, it’s a joint expense, so start planning what you both would like to do months ahead of your wedding date. Also, if you start early, and you need airfare, it will be much cheaper.
Okay, first things first. Where do you want to go? Don’t just name places, think more generally. Do you both love the ocean? Mountains? Lavish hotels? Bungalow beach huts? An all inclusive vacation? A cruise? You see…there is so much to think about.
After you’ve decided on “what” kind of honeymoon, now you have to decide where to go. There are many places that I will cover in my next blog which are very traditional honeymoon places and some not so traditional. There will be some that are expensive and some that you can enjoy yourselves with much less money.
Either way, you both have to make a decision and stick to it so that you can make concrete plans. But remember, compromise. If one of you really hates the beach and the other person loves it, I would suggest you not go there and find a place that you both love.
Tune in tomorrow! You’ll be glad you did!
Much happiness coming your way,
