We couldn’t afford our dream honeymoon of going to Hawaii right after our wedding, so we did 2 nights at a local (45 minute drive) hotel with waterpark inside, and then drove across the state and stayed in a Victorian bed and breakfast for 2 nights. It was a nice honeymoon, and it gave us a year to save up for our dream of going to Hawaii, which we did for our one year anniversary (and paid practically for the entire thing in cash! – 5 nights in Waikiki, 4 in Maui). That worked best for us and we enjoyed both “honeymoons”!

Uh, my ex and I both went to work on Monday. We were planning to take our honeymoon for our second anniversary, but we didn’t make it that far.

We went on our honeymoon 4 months after our wedding. It was fun and enjoyable.

I still enjoy travelling with DH, because I know the day is coming when it won’t just be us.

Interesting post. We had a lot of friends that were going to islands and doing a beach type honeymoon. The hubby and I went to a national park – it was romantic, peaceful and relaxing. We are glad we did something a little different!

It depends on what people like. For those who really like to travel there is another money-saving option: honeymoon instead of a wedding.

This is what a girl I knew when I was young did. We were recent refugees from Russia and money were tight. This girl’s parents had some money saved, but not that much; she just started working so she also didn’t have much saved yet. So she said – I don’t care about having a formal wedding, but I’d like to go on a trip I’d remember. She got married by a justice of the peace, had a small party in her home for a few relatives and very close friends (mom-made food instead of catering, no photographer, no band – she played some piano and they put some records on, etc.). They then spent $5000 on a trip to Europe. This was around 1980 so $5000 bought a very nice trip, but it was still cheaper than the wedding.

We’re approaching our second anniversary and still haven’t taken a honeymoon. Since we’re also expecting a little one soon, I can’t imagine any trips happening anytime soon. We were trying to buy a house when we got married, we decided an affordable wedding ($2,000) was enough extra spending and we’d save the rest to get a house. I’d love to take a trip as I love traveling, but the price tag on any vacation (especially a family one, since I wouldn’t want to leave any children home), makes traveling a maybe-someday dream for now.
