    T&C's do not have to state something that is clear from the competition text, Oxford dictionary definition for honeymoon is
    A holiday spent together by a newly married couple:
    The original reference was to affection waning like the moon, but later the sense became 'the first month after marriage'

    Ideally the T&C's should spell out any specifics that could otherwise be open to interpretation and the Oxford definition of "honeymoon" does not really cover civil partnerships.

    I was thinking of saying, if I won a honeymoon that we didn't have one so this would be a belated one. It's pretty much the truth - we had a very short mini moon but still haven't had a proper honeymoon....

    and what if you renewed vows?

    I'ce seen quite a few comps where it's stated that the holiday must be taken within 6 moths of the wedding
