How long after your wedding did you go on honeymoon?

I would love to go right away but bw work and budget it may not happen.. I feel like you should do it asap so it feels like an actual honeymoon and not just a vacation.. What was your honeymoon budget? Would you go on a mini moon while you save money or just do it when finances allow?

    Leaving a little over a week after wedding. That'll give us some time to settle in after all the craziness. My sister, however, left the day after hers. Their work schedule and amount of vacation time limited when they could go.

    Wedding is on a Friday in South Lake Tahoe (about 2 hours from home). We come home on Sunday and then leave for Jamaica Monday night. We're going to an all inclusive couples resort, we budgeted about $5k for the honeymoon and we are spending about $4600. Can't wait!!!

    We waited exactly one month. We got married a week 1/2 before Christmas. There was no way either of us could have taken off the holiday season.

    Our wedding is Saturday and we leave for Negril, Jamaica on Monday morning at 6am. We sprang for a higher quality resort (Couples Swept Away) which is 4500 for 7 days, 6 nights. I plan on packing the week before the wedding, we're doing carry ons and all we need is swimsuits and casual clothes! It meant a lot to both of us to go immediately after the wedding, our jobs allowed it so we went for it.

    We are going 5 months later. We are getting married in November, but we are outdoorsy and would prefer a spring honeymoon.

    Married on Saturday, leaving Sunday for an all inclusive in Mexico. FH insisted. Once we leave the reception he wants it to be just us for a whole week.

    I read that its very important for a couple to bond and relax the first few days after they're married...even if you just go to a nice hotel/bed and breakfast that's local

    Wedding is on a Saturday and we're headed off to our honeymoon on Monday. We scored a free cabin with only a $25 deposit (that's refundable) we're budgeting around $500 for all the activities we plan on doing out in the hill country.
