Modern or Traditional: Honeymoon Timing?

Maggie, on October 16, 2018 at 11:05 AM Posted in Honeymoon 0 94

Are you taking the traditional approach and leaving for your honeymoon straight after your wedding? Or are you doing it more modern and waiting a little bit? Maybe you’re taking a mini-moon or waiting until your 1-year anniversary to take a honeymoon.

How are you timing your honeymoon?

    Traditional, we're out! I wanted to go somewhere right after the wedding so we are going on a more low key wintery honeymoon in a cabin in the mountains and then we will take bigger more expensive trips down the road.

    Hmm, I guess kinda in the middle. Our wedding was on a Friday, we stayed at the resort through Sunday, went home for a week and then left for our HM.

    I feel like that might count as...well, no, you're right, LB. That is both. Where did you go for your honeymoon?

    We'll take a mini-moon in Colorado, probably. Then take an actual honeymoon for our 1 year.

    Modern. We enjoyed a relaxing mini-moon at our wedding resort. Hoped for official honeymoon on 1st year, but looks like we gotta wait a little longer. No biggie. It’ll happen soon enough. ❤️

    We are going on our honeymoon in February. I need to to accumulate more vacation time and H is a school bus driver and he would prefer to go away while the school is on vacation so he doesn't have to use what little time off he will have. It will be worth the wait. Smiley smile
