No Honeymoon?

We are having ours months after the wedding as we want to save up afterwards so we can go on our dream honeymoon. One of my bridesmaids is getting married the month after us and they are jetting off the day after the wedding to their honeymoon, I think it all depends on you and your partner and what you want

View quoted message Thank you for the reply! I’m glad we’re not alone with the “straight off on honeymoon” thing. We usually go on holiday in the UK as we take our dog with us everywhere. We’re thinking if we do have a honeymoon, it’ll be in the UK (also a bit unheard of now!)

I think its becoming a lot more popular now for couples to have a honeymoon in the UK than abroad, especially with covid etc but as long as you and your partner are happy then thats all that matters!

View quoted message Definitely, I’ve always been more for holidaying in the UK although we are planning a trip to Egypt in the future, it’ll be a while yet with the wedding! I wish you the best of luck with your wedding and honeymoon!

At least you have it to look forward to once the stress of planning a wedding is done with! All the best to you, too

View quoted message Certainly! We’ve never been abroad together in our whole 7 year relationship! I travelled a lot before we met, to America, Greece, Italy but he’s never been abroad and with us moving a lot and progressing, we’ve never quite found our travelling fund!

Hi! We were the same as you, unsure if we wanted one and the budget of the wedding rapidly got out of control. So we have decided to have one but probably 6-12 months after the wedding so we can afford something special. A lot of people I know have them a few months after their weddings anyway x

View quoted message Thanks for the reply! It makes me feel a lot more ‘normal’ knowing this so thank you! X

View quoted message You're welcome! I also have a feeling that once the wedding is over I will probably feel a bit sad about it being over because the planning is so fun. So I think having a honeymoon a while after the wedding is something good to look forward to x

Hey, we are planning our wedding for 2025 and have decided with us having two boys now ages 6.5month and 3 that in 3 years they’d be the perfect ages for Disney so rather than a wedding gift we shall ask for money to go towards our honeymoon trip to Disney

View quoted message I agree! I feel like it’ll make that newlywed excitement last that little bit longer because you’ll have the belated honeymoon to look forward to x

View quoted message That’s such a great idea! And I love Disney World so it’d be perfect for you both. Lots of couples go there for honeymoons, unfortunately my fiancé is not a disney fan so that’s out the question for us but most likely somewhere we can take our dog. We can’t have kids so our dogs our family and just as important to us that she goes with us!

We have booked ours for our first anniversary as it gives us something to look FWD toom our wedding is this weekend and with COVID we just didn't want the hassle of moving or organising tests etc so booked abroad for next year and will be going away with friends next week to Center Parcs as this was rebooked form last year before we booked the wedding, but we wanted this date so we are have a Friendmoon!!

We aren't going on honeymoon for a while.
I have a secret plan to take him to Murrayfield for the Six Nations in 2024 though (he's a massive Scotland fan, and hasn't been able to go to a match for ages for various reasons).

View quoted message Sounds like a great idea! I hope you have fun!

View quoted message That’s great! He will love that, I’m sure! Have fun!

We’re getting married on 6th September in Gretna Green too, we’re staying 3 nights in the Smiths hotel. We’ve decided to have our honeymoon over our 1st wedding anniversary. Not sure where yet, but it will be somewhere hot!

We aren't having a honeymoon at all for multiple reasons. Both of us love the comfort of our own home, we're at our happiest sitting next to eachother on the sofa playing xbox. There's also the cats. My youngest is super destructive so I can't leave her with anyone & she's very clingy so I can't leave her with daily visits, she needs company. Thers no way I'd put them both in a cattery, I'd feel so guilty.


So we are having a week off work to just chill at home, possibly have a couple of days out & relax after all the excitement.

View quoted message Oh wonderful! We’re getting married at the Gretna Hall Hotel! And staying at a nearby B&B for 2 nights as we wanted our whole wedding to be pet friendly on the off chance our dog needs to stay with us! We’re considering the Lake District for a belated honeymoon! But waiting till the 1st wedding anniversary sounds like a good idea! Plenty time to save

View quoted message Sounds great! Our dog is rescue and has separation anxiety so we can’t leave her for long. This is one of the reasons we are marrying at Gretna Green and staying in pet friendly accommodation on the off chance she has to stay with us. We are now considering a belated honeymoon at the Lake District where we can take our dog ( she goes on every holiday with us) but staying at home also sounds great as we do love our home!

We are going to the coast for our honeymoon but a year after our first anniversary we ate going away properly xx

View quoted message Cornwalls a beautiful place we are going this weekend for a week and I can’t wait it has been nearly 10 years since I went last

View quoted message That sounds lovely, have a wonderful time xx

View quoted message It is! My family are from Cornwall but I’ve never actually been! Living in the North East, it would be a stretch to get there but it’s a possibility.

View quoted message Yeah I know the feeling my family are from Wigan however I’m from the Lake District and we went every year with my Nan and grandad when I were little. It’ll be nearly a 14 hour drive for us at the weekend but it’ll be worth it

View quoted message Ah the Lake District is beautiful. We are now considering a belated honeymoon to the Lake District!

View quoted message Aww that is a great idea it is an amazing place for the pooch too plenty of walks

View quoted message She’s never been to the Lake District so it’ll be all new for her, can’t wait

Me and my H2B planned our wedding for November this year, booked honeymoon in a cottage, didn't want to spend loads as we've just started fertility treatment and babies are expensive, so low key, we ended up bringing the wedding forward and we can't actually move the date of our honeymoon forward. But it gives us both something to look forward to end November and then Christmas so we think it'll be a lovely way to fill in this year.
Best wishes. Xx

View quoted message That’s great! We’re looking into a belated honeymoon at Christmas time because our wedding is 31st of October next year and we usually go away for Christmas with not having kids yet so why not make it our honeymoon? Haha!
I wish you the best of luck in your fertility treatment and wedding xx

View quoted message Going away over Christmas really sounds amazing. Especially if all the little markets are on and things,
Aw thank you so much ❤
You as well. Best of luck hun, be expecting some photos from you and your wonderful day! We won't forget xx

View quoted message Ah thank you so much! ♥️ I’ll be looking forward to seeing some of your beautiful photos also! Xx
