Honeymoons

Ruby_Roo

Just being nosey and wondering where other MSE brides and grooms are going/have been on honeymoon?

My friend is getting married 6 months after us and they're not going anywhere but we love our holidays and we will have foregone our annual holiday for a couple of years to save for the wedding and a honeymoon so we are gonna do something special.

We have two plans on the table at the moment - 1) 2 weeks skiing in Whistler or 2) 2 nights in San Francisco, 5 nights skiing at Lake Tahoe, 5 nights skiing at Mammoth and 2 nights in Las Vegas.

We're not going anywhere. I used to love my holidays years ago but since having kids (they are 15 & 13) we haven't been able to afford them and it doesn't bother me that much any more. We are getting married this xmas time so we will both be off work any way for a week or so.

Hi,

We're not going anywhere as DD isn't allowed time off school and her Dad doesn't have transport to get her to school while we're away {also the idea of being without DD for a week/two isn't appealing to me}.

I have no holidays left to take, but we are off together over Christmas so that will be nice, we will go on holiday after Christmas during a school holiday after we've paid for the wedding and Christmas and our birthdays!

My wife to be and I are off to Florida for 3 weeks. Tis where we got engaged, so has a great deal of importance to us.

There are some perfect places to collect momentos of our occasion.

We're going to Mexico for 2 weeks, we were thinking of Florida but someone told us it's not very relaxing & after a year of planning a wedding I'm going to need the rest

We're going to New York for five nights - fly out two and a half weeks after the wedding so will be something to look forward to and postpone the comedown a bit! It's somewhere we've both always wanted to visit and as neither of us are really beach people (we'd do it for a day then get bored), so a honeymoon of amazing food, iconic sights and world-class museums is perfect

We've just got back from a music festival for 4 nights, it was exactly what we wanted to do, surrounded by good friends and great music. Do whatever feels right for the two of you and don't feel forced into a big holiday if it's just not what you enjoy, just because it's what other people do for their honeymoons. We spent Sunday night in a campervan in the pouring rain with 11 people we love crammed in and lots of wine and laughter. Perfect!

We got married abroad, so had a week in the sun then. We're then using what we would have spend on a Honeymoon to do fun stuff throughout the year including
Gentlemans Afternoon Tea
Reading Festival
Outdoor Cinema experience
Weekend away in Birmingham
Trip to Dublin
Week in Cornwall

We're hopefully going for a week to Disney in Florida and then 5 days in New York (with a day trip to Buffalo thrown in). We're not beach people, I've never been to America and it's just the holiday of a lifetime for us.

We're not booking a honeymoon until after the wedding! We massively overbudgeted on nearly everything for the wedding so we do have a nice little pot left over but I don't want to spend that until the day itself is done and dusted "just in case" plus I know some of our friends are planning on gifting money to us as they know we are yet to plkan one and also are doing a lot of work on the house at the moment. We get married in June and are hoping to eventually go away towards October time. We'd like to be able to put our savings with any monetary gifts and really plan a "once in a lifetime" holiday hence the waiting.

We are heading to the Maldives.. It's probably gonna cost half of what the wedding cost but I don't care, me and OH haven't been on a proper holiday since 2009!!
