    I’m marrying a teacher in the middle of fall, so ours is modern by necessity Smiley smile a few days off now and we’ll take a full honeymoon over a school break later on.

    Traditional. That was the ONE thing we were very traditional about. We don't feel taking a trip later counts as the honeymoon, it's just a trip.

    Modern! We will going about 3.5 months later. We want time to save since we will be going internationally to Malaysia, and I'm a graduate student so we couldn't go during the semester.

    Modern. I would love to be able to go on a honeymoon right after the wedding but due to FH getting a new job it's just not in the cards right now. We are thinking mini moon with a real honeymoon maybe next year

    Traditional. We'll probably fly somewhere tropical the morning after the wedding.

    Modern-ish, we're leaving 10 days after the wedding! We definitely wanted to go traditional, but we wouldn't make the cruise in Italy due to time zone changes (EST to GMT+2)

    This really depends on money/budget. I would love to leave soon after but that’s a bridge we will cross when we get to it

    We married in the city we are having our honeymoon. It started once the last of our guests left.
