Upset about not having a honeymoon

Maybe you could take a day trip somewhere close that you don't normally visit? You could spend as little as $50 on something like this. Call it a "mini" moon.

I'm sorry you aren't able to afford a honeymoon! Have you considered a delayed honeymoon once you can save up more? Or at least a mini-moon, maybe just a weekend in a hotel to spend time away together?

Why does it upset you? You are starting your own family now. You are still part of theirs, but you are an adult and should be in change of your entertainment budget.
You could cut back on amenities at the wedding and do a weekend get away till you can afford a real vacation? Or set up a fund for honeymoon money rather than gifts.

I don't understand why one has to do with the other. It's understandable to be disappointed that you can't afford to go on a HM right away, but what does that have to do with your family's vacation?

Could you guys do something more affordable? Maybe a staycation in a local hotel, or a road trip, or a camping trip? You could still make it romantic and you'd get to have a honeymoon!

We’re not taking a honeymoon right away. It sucks but it is what it is. We got married Friday and I’m already back at work today.

Were saving up and planning to take a honeymoon next year sometime. It won’t be anything extravagant, but we’re also working on paying down some credit card debt and buying a house next year.

Honestly it’s super popular to stay at a hotel for just your wedding night and come home the next day then go on your honeymoon a few months later when it’s better for you. Some people get married in the fall and wait to have their honeymoon til spring cause they want to go to a beach or something. And vice versa. Some people get married in the summer and wait to have their honeymoon til fall or winter cause they want to go to the mountains and ski. Be creative with it! It’s another thing to look forward to celebrating so it’s not all at once! There’s also some couples who go a few weeks or a month-2 months after their wedding.

Side note: I know a girl who got married and had to put a hold on her honeymoon cause her best friend’s fiancé decided to have his bachellor party a week after her friends wedding! And her new husband was invited to that and he didn’t want to say no since the soon-to-be-bride’s fiancé went to the new husband’s bachellor party for him.

We are getting married in June and initially planned to go on a week long honeymoon to Tulum Mexico a few days after the wedding. Since we started wedding planning, my fiancé entered into a police academy, taken a very large pay cut, we are relocating across the state for his new station, selling our house that we bought 3 years ago as our "forever home", and relocating the small business that we own. So we are cutting back with the wedding where we can and that includes nixing the honeymoon all together. What we are going to do instead, is rent a room in bed and breakfast in a little historic town for the following weekend. Then, once we are settled (we are hoping we can do it for our first anniversary), we plan on going on our belated honeymoon to Switzerland and Austria. (We love the mountains). Even if all these changes weren't happening, we wouldn't be able to do a European Alpine trip. So perhaps you two can do something similar, like a romantic bed and breakfast weekend and plan for a dream vacation for whenever it is feasible to do so. We plan years for weddings and Lord knows they are crazy expensive. Maybe plan for a dream destination trip?
