| Everyone has a picture in their minds of a dream honeymoon, which follows a perfect wedding. Maybe it's backpacking through Europe and visiting ancient, historical castles or possible it's going to a luxurious resort that will pamper the both of you and let you just focus on each other.
Ask yourself some important questions to find out where you want to go for your honeymoon. |
If you do this, you won't have to rush off to the airport, pack twice, or even take off your wedding dress that day. Near or far, how much travel do you want to do for the honeymoon?
This question is both a matter of budget and of personal preferences. A honeymoon isn't about visiting exotic locations around the world; it's about spending time together with your new spouse, just the two of you. There may very well be wonderful places you've never seen within just a few hundred miles of your home – just think about it. If this is what the decision comes down to, opt for a longer honeymoon close to home as opposed to a short one far away. Give yourselves the gifts of one another.
Save or splurge? This is up to you. Obviously, entering debt before marriage (especially after a big wedding) is not the greatest idea; but if the debt is manageable and it makes the difference between an okay resort and a fantastic dream honeymoon, then maybe you should really go for it. You'll only have one honeymoon so make the most of it!
