We didn't go on one. We were moving a month after the wedding and didn't have the time or money.
Thanks ladies....so they really are overrated huh?? because when people ask me and i tell them we are going on a honey moon...they looked at me like i just told them i was a man or something!!!
Me and we are okay with it! My FI is in the army and is currently in captain's school and we are just blessed that he could take off for the wedding! We will probably take it around the holidays and we look at it as we are so excited that we are getting our special day and will be married and for the next 6 months, we will have something great to look forward to!
Honeymoons aren't overrated but if you can't go right away, so what! This will give you something to look foward to after the wedding.
we also payed for our wedding on our own and did not do a real honeymoon. my grandma died a few days before the wedding so we spent the days after our wedding doing funeral stuff then we went to a town about an hour away. They have a nice moutain bike trail and a very historical city. It was fun. We planned on doing a honeymoon 3 months later but had to cancell because DH lost his job.
We're not going on one either. We moving soon after and wanted to purchase some things for the house. We might take a day trip somewhere close but that's it.
We haven't taken a honeymoon yet either... we spent the week after the wedding with his parents in his hometown in PA, instead! We are hoping to take one for our first annivesary.. but it really doesn't matter when it happens - we've got the rest of our lives!
very true!!!! Thanks BEES!! you guys made me feel so much better!!
Since we are paying for our wedding ourselves as well as an aversion of credit cards and debt, we are staying @ a local resort for 2 days.(Thanx Fairy GodFather!!!)
We aren't taking one! With 2 weddings to deal with and an international trip for one, we just can't afford it, nor will we have extra vacation time. I think FH is more upset about it than I am! We might take a nice vacation eventually, but I'm looking forward to just spending time with him in our own home.
We aren't going on 1 for probably another year. Annnnd if 1 more person asks where we're going & I have to say 1 more time that we can't afford one, I think I'm going to scream.
I was fine with it for a while, but now I'm back to being bummed about it. I guess I just feel like, I just worked my ass off in grad school, with that last semester probably working easily 60+ hours/week for free during my internship with a brutal supervisor, while the rest of my class maybe worked 40 hours a week... and I'm one of only TWO (of almost 20) who didn't get to go/isn't going on some amazing honeymoon or vacation after grad school. I just talked to 1 of my BMs last night & she & her boyfriend are flying to Portland for a long weekend this weekend.. 1 of my high school friends & her boyfriend just flew to the coast for a weekend getaway, and another high school friend just went to Vegas with all her college girlfriends recently, and 1 of our groomsmen just went to Denver for the week.
I just feel really frustrated because for the past 2 years I've worked my ass off to finish grad school & FI worked his butt off at a crappy job that made him miserable to support both of us & I feel like we deserve to be able to go somewhere fun.. but instead we'll just be coming back to our apartment, he'll probably start training for his new job & I'll be sitting around, unemployed until August. Like I said, I was fine for a while with not being able to go on 1, since we just moved & finances are pretty drained, but after the constant reminders of everyone else's fun trips, it's hard to stay positive. Especially when everyone keeps saying "If you don't go on 1 now, you'll never go on 1 because life just gets so busy that you never get around to it."
pity party over.
@kt23525:I think as brides we spend so much time comparing our sself to what other are doing! you have accomplished so much in this year, not being ale to go on a honey moon is not a big deal...just save up and go on an amazing 1 year ann vacation. Or do something small after your big day...like get a hotel room one night somewhere. some place even upgrade you for free just because its your "honeymoon"...what ever you do...NO MORE PITY PARTY!!
@MrsStrawberry24: Haha, thanks for the words of encouragement. I go in phases, sometimes I'm totally fine with it & sometimes I get really bummed, & it's just frustrating sometimes!
As of right now we won't be going on a honeymoon. I just can't justify spending the money we are working so hard to save on a vacation right now. It is really important for us to have a good downpayment and pleanty of leftover savings when we buy a house in 3 years, and since I currently cannot find a job in my career field (read: working a very low wage job) we aren't willing to splurge right now.
You could take a honeymoon later on! I know many people who go for a honeymoon months later. You could also do a honeymoon registry if you're really set on going on one; that might make it more affordable.
@MademoiselleL: I'm hoping to do this - take a bigger trip on our 1-year anniversary, when I'm done with my dissertation and FI has been in his job longer.
@MademoiselleL: what is a honeymoon registery?? i have never heard of that!!
@MrsStrawberry24: You register for a honeymoon instead of for gifts at a store. Guests can choose to contribute to your honeymoon fund or buy you an activity to do on your honeymoon.
A common one is called "honeyfund" (you can google it) or you can usually do them through travel agencies as well. I know a girl right now who is registered at flight centre.
We were married in March. No honeymoon yet. May or may not be able to afford to do it this summer (we're not shooting for anything pricey).. we're planning on New Orleans, and we're in Texas, but it still is up in the air depending on money and my honey's work schedule.
If not this summer then it will be delayed until Spring Break 2012 (we're students), or the following summer.
We probably wont get to go on one..US immigration is taking forever lol and i think the estimates puts my entry into the USA in like january-ish..FI will be swamped with work. :( until playoffs are over? so we may go away for a week or so whenever the playoffs end next spring?
We couldn't afford one when we first got married. We stayed one night in a nice hotel. About 3 years later (our kids were 2.5 and 1 yr old, we went away for a week, then returned and picked up the kids and went away for a 2nd week.) lol.

So my FH and i are paying for most of our wedding ourselves (17,000)) we set down before the wedding and decided what we could and could not afford and how much we coulld spend without being broke after and that was the budget we came up with...well we are 9 mths and 22 days out and we just realized...we will not have money for a honeymoon! are there anyother brides out here that will not be able to take a honeymoon right after your wedding?? We are getting married at a beautiful resort in our area and we are getting a complimentary night at the resort...but unless we are gifted a honeymoon...it wont be happening for at least a year into our marriage. I'm ok with this because my wedding day only happens only once...and lets be honest....its honeymoon night EVERY night in our house lol!
