Delayed Honeymoon?

A honeymoon can wait especially if you are putting it off for your career.

I personally am going the day after we get married, but I wouldn't if I had an amazing career oppurtunity and I know FH would understand.

My friend and her husband who are both teachers got married in September and didn't take their honeymoon until the following Sumner.

Yep! We're doing 'staycation' in a family vacation home and saving our trip to the Galapagos for a later anniversary!

We were forced to cancel our honeymoon because of the ridiculous ever-changing immigration laws. We will probably take our honeymoon near our one year anniversary. Don't let anyone sway your choice. Postponing for your career is a great excuse.

I would def plan/book it so it doesn't get forgotten but lots of people delay

We are getting married in June but going on our honeymoon in February after due to career reasons

We are having a mini moon and eating until later in the year for our honeymoon. You should definitely plan it out and book it as soon as you can so that it didn't go on the back burner. Then you won't forget.

We got married in May and did a mini moon due to me being a teacher. We decided in June to go to Disney/Florida as a honeymoon. Initially we didn’t think we would be able to afford it but we ended up with a very generous gift from a friend of my parents which helped and was completely unexpected.

We are getting married in July, but taking our honeymoon in either the following December or February since summer is FH’s busy season at work. He barely felt comfortable taking a few days for the wedding, let alone a whole week.

It’s totally ok to schedule the honeymoon later. Your doing this for a great reason. Schedule when I.t works for you two.

I feel like if you make it a point to schedule a nice vacation for a time when you won’t have as many commitments you should be fine. The question is whether you would feel like it is still a honeymoon if it’s long after the wedding? If you don’t have a choice then just do what you can and don’t stress.

My friend got married in August and they are going on their honeymoon cruise in January due to not having enough PTO saved up. They got married in PA but live in FL so they used up a lot of time to spend the week before the wedding in PA getting things ready. They had to save up more PTO to go on their honeymoon.

I'm a teacher. I have to wait until the summer. I don't mind because I get to take my time booking it and see how much money i have left from the wedding !

Not married yet, but we’re planning to do a minimoon in Breckenridge right after the wedding and then go on our big honeymoon for our one year anniversary. It works better for us this way because August is really busy for FH, I wouldn’t be able to get that much time off of my internship, and I’ll be done with my master’s and licensing exam by our one year so we’ll have even more to celebrate! 🎉

We are planning on taking our honeymoon 4 months after our wedding. Winter is a much slower time at work, so it will be easier to get the time off.

Honeymoons are essentially a vacation, and they can be any time after your wedding. Your career is more important, IMO.

We originally were going to wait a few months because we wanted to let our savings build back up before taking another chunk out, but we found a deal we couldn't pass up and then won a cruise so we are going right after!

We didn’t take a honeymoon after we got married. We have a trip to Disneyland booked for our 1 year anniversary and we are looking at doing a honeymoon in May this next year once we both have PTO.

We're getting married in June. Our area is so beautiful that time of year, plus were have family in town that are staying through the 4th of July so we aren't going anywhere right away. But my birthday is in January, we got engaged in February, and his birthday is March. So we're taking our honeymoon to celebrate our engagement anniversary. Also winter can suck it and we'll be happy to go somewhere warm. Now we just need to stick to one plan and stop changing it. It's either Cancun, Mexico.... Thailand and Cambodia..... or Greece. At least until I come up with another great idea!

First wedding, honeymoon was six weeks after the wedding, because we had to wait until the summer session of law school was over.

Second wedding, we didn't even try to take a honeymoon. However, the wedding was in Massachusetts, so it constituted a sort of mini-moon all by itself.

The emphasis on honeymoons is really a bit silly, in my opinion. Yes, for some people, it's nice to have a vacation immediately after all the stress of wedding planning. But if you're not in a situation in which that works for you, then you don't need to do it. You can take trips together at any point during your marriage. And if you want to think of one of them as your honeymoon, no one is going to tell you no.
