We're doing this! We have a month gap, though partly because I have to take finals after the wedding attend my graduation ceremony and my brother's, and move to another state. Plus we were working with miles, so had to be flexible with the dates.
I heard it was nice to have downtime after the wedding. I'm not sure we'll have much, but I'm hoping to knock out most of our Thank You notes during the month!
Our wedding is on a saturday and we are leaving for our HM the following friday....i dotn see anyhting wrong with it.
we are having a small gap. we get married on Saturday and head up for our honeymoon on Tuesday. I need it some time to rest before starting the honeymoon.
I think you just have to do what you have to do! You want to enjoy your vacation, so do it at a time that you think you'd enjoy it and have the time to do it.
We've got a 9 day gap between ours...I wanted to stay in the country for Independence Day since I missed it last year, plus 85% of our guest list are OOT & they're making a vacation of our wedding, so we're also sticking around to spend more time with them. AND, flights are cheaper on Mondays & Tuesdays than on weekends (which accounts for the odd number 9).
We're leaving either the Tuesday or Wednesday after the wedding. Sunday to spend time with the fam and OOT guests. Monday to detox, deposit cash/cheques at the bank, and pack. Tuesday or Wednesday leave!
We're having a gap. I'm taking a week off work after the wedding for some post wedding down-time (although the way things are looking now I might be moving into our house during that week - EEEEP!) but then I'm going back to work. I'm a teacher so we're going to wait for the December school holidays before heading off on our honeymoon so that I'm not taking a whole lot of time off during the last term of the year!
We're taking a few months off after all the wedding stuff, my fh won't have any more time off until after the first of the year. So it sucks we have to wait til then.
Well, we got legally married on Friday, we're having our Korean wedding June 5th, our Canadian wedding August 15th...and then going on our HM starting August 17th. DH doesn't have very much vacation time, so they only time we could fit it in was on the way back to Korea (HM in Vancouver). Judging from the craziness of the legal wedding, I would NOT want to leave immediately following a full wedding ceremony for the HM. Having a bit of time to relax, sleep, and pack is probably a good thing!
Def not weird!
We're gapping about a month. Our wedding was initially planned for 8/21 so we were going on HM in early September. Then the wedding got pushed up and we pushed the HM back another week to fit Oktoberfest nicely into our travels. hehe.
I personally could not leave for HM the day after wedding. I would worry abotu everything!
YES! That is exactly what we did/are doing. We got married on March 27 in a destination wedding. That was a mini-vacation in itself as we were away for five days (and already had 4 suitcases between the two of us!). We have our honeymoon booked for June 3 - 12. HOWEVER, if I could suggest one thing... waiting 2.5 months is too long. I would recommend only waiting one month. I'm dreaming of a beach and a margarita right now and we're kicking ourselves for waiting so long! I don't know why, but June sounded good when we booked it last autumn. Please learn from our mistake and go like within a month or 6 weeks of your wedding. :)
I think we'll have a 1 week gap. I wanted to get married in Feb and the only weekend we could do it was feb 26, but FI HAS to work the next week. So, we'll wait a week and honeymoon after.
we're getting married in October but not going away until December. The only reason is the money factor - there's no way we could save all the money we needed for the wedding and for the honeymoon. We *were* going to wait until next year to go away, but FI said if we don't go within a couple of months, we probably wouldn't go (saving up for another house, life plans, etc etc). I'm also not taking any time off the week after the wedding, back to the grind at work on the Monday.
we're doing exactly that!
we are both going back to work and school the week after wedding weekend.
then the following saturday, we will be going on our honeymoon :)
it gives us time to get everything situated at the house, make arrangements for our pups, and tidy up everything at work/school with no stress on the HM!
Count us in! Our wedding is on a Sunday, and we will leave for our honeymoon on Friday.
We are using FI's parents timeshare and the week rental starts on a Friday. We will get married on Sunday, have Monday off (Labor Day) and then go back to work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. I think it might be a little odd to go back to work, but this plan works best given our honeymoon situation!
Do what works best for you and FI!
We're waiting a couple of months. We got married March 27th and went on a short trip (3 days). We will be honeymooning June 19th-25th. My husband is in medical school so he has to focus on end of year exams right now and a really big test June 11th. I am actually really glad that we are waiting. It feels like we get another vacation!
we also have a small gap. our wedding is on saturday and we'll be leaving the following friday or saturday for a 7 day cruise. i'm actually very relieved that it worked out this way because i'll need some time to rest, clean, work just a few days and pack because i really don't want to have to worry about packing before the wedding.
We're having a huge gap...almost 6 months. Mostly because the FI and I want to go on an Egyptian cruise for our honeymoon and we want to go when it's cold here to really 'getaway'. I'm pretty excited about it!
So happy to hear that we are not the only ones taking time after the wedding before we go on our honeymoon! We are waiting about 5 months after the wedding before going on our honeymoon for several reasons - mostly because of my work schedule this summer but also because of money (we're paying for the wedding & hm ourselves) and because our parents are throwing us a second reception in our home state and we thought it would be fun to tie the HM into that party. Plus, we love the idea of having something to look forward to later in the year!
There will be 3 weeks in between our wedding and our honeymoon... The villa we're renting was already booked the week right after our wedding, so we were going to have to wait at least a week anyway. So we ended up deciding to take our honeymoon during our "birthday week" -- my bday is Sept. 15 and his is Sept. 16. So that will make it even more special. :)
We will have about 4 months between our wedding and honeymoon! We are going to Australia/New Zealand for our HM at the end of December next year (probably leaving Christmas evening.) FI doesn't get a lot of time off work, so he's combining it with his Christmas holidays.
Our wedding is on a Saturday, and we are leaving for the HM on the following Friday. We did this so we could include two weekends in our travel time, i.e. ask for less time off of work. I don't think there is anything wrong with a gap, whether it be for monetary, scheduling, weather, etc. concerns or just because. :)
we're taking like a 4 month break between our wedding and honeymoon. Some days, we think we should just skip the wedding and head over to our moon right away. we could stay a lot longer if we did that :)
We're taking a few months in between our wedding and honeymoon. FI just started a new job, so he'll barely have enough vacation time accrued for our wedding, let alone a full honeymoon. So we're going to do the honeymoon later in the fall, once he has built up some more vacay time. We are going to spend a couple extra days at our wedding location as a little "mini-moon" though... so we won't have to head straight back to work the Monday after the wedding.
I don't think that it is weird at all... whatever is more convenient for you :) We are going the day after the wedding, but we also aren't having a destination wedding which could definitely lead to more exhaustion lol
We did it and I'm SO glad we did! It gave us time to reflect on the wedding and we still had something awesome to look forward to. Plus we wanted to take 2 weeks for the honeymoon and a full week for the wedding and we could never have taken 3 consecutive weeks off work. I didn't expect to do it that way but I'm so glad that is how it worked out.
I have grad school..so we're going to stay in a hotel a couple nights then go to Jamaica 1 1/2 months later.
We too are also having a destination wedding but instead of a HM we are going to make our destination location like our HM since we will be in Florida and getting married a few days after we get there and will be there for a whole other week!
Because of my residency's awful vacation policy we won't get to go on our honeymoon until 2 weeks after the wedding. On the bright side it gives us something to look forward to after the wedding is over :-)

Is anyone else thinking about having a little "gap" of time between their wedding and honeymoon? My fiance and I might take a week to let things settle and then leave for our honeymoon. Since we're having a destination wedding, I think it would be stressful for me to have to haul all my honeymoon suitcases down with my wedding stuff, and then hop on a plane the day after my wedding. I'm going to be exhausted. I mean, not just "I'll sleep in until 11 the next day" exhausted...more like I need a week to recover exhausted.
Is it totally weird to have a gap of time between the wedding and honeymoon? Has anyone done this? Good? Bad?
