I'm interested to find out where people are honeymooning? Why they decided where they are going, and when?

We haven't set a budget as such but we're currently debating whether to do Hong Kong and Borneo as a twin centre holiday or do a royal Caribbean cruise on their new ship which sails three weeks after we get married from New York to the Bahamas,as we got engaged in New York... The idea behind our honeymoon is that we wanted to go somewhere where when we tell people where we're going we get a reaction and questioning over why we're going there...rather than opting for Spain or turkey where a lot of ppl have been you'd get the 'oh right' comment Ivwant the 'oh wow,why did u think of going there' type comment....
It helps being a travel agent tho as obviously the further afield I go the more it benefits the company when it comes to selling that as a holiday when I get bk x

I *think* we might be going to Italy... H2B has booked and its a surprise! But our budget was £2000 (gift from his mum for the wedding) and any more we have to bump up! More than generous!

We have to stay "local" as I'm on 10 days notice to move with work, so even if I can't fly back for whatever reason, I know I'd be able to drive and sail back within about 3 days from most places in Europe. We're just going for a week because husband has to deploy 2 weeks after we get married to hot sandy places so needs about a week to get his life together and buffer in case his flight out is a few days earlier than anticipated.

All insured of course!

We haven't decided on a destination yet although we are thinking somewhere with a beach and not much else (maybe Mauritius or Seychelles) as we figure that after all the stress we'll just want to relax and spend time together somewhere pretty. We've decided to have our honeymoon as our gift list and I'm going to say in the invites something along the lines of 'rather than you buying us a toaster that will break in a couple of years, we'd appreciate it if you could contribute towards our honeymoon so you can help us create memories that we will have forever'.

We went to Hawaii, 2 nights Honolulu, 6 nights Maui and 6 nights on the big island/Kona then 3 nights in LA on the way back to break up the journey. It was one of the places both hubby and I really wanted to go to and that neither of us had been to before as both of us had travelled and seen a lot of the world already before we met each other and also in the time we were dating. Okay so I'd been to LA before but 3 nights there en route back didn't bother me.

Hawaii was one of those once in a lifetime trips that we could only justify spending that kinda money on for something really special and we would never get anything more special than our honeymoon xxx

I have always wanted to go to Bora Bora on my honeymoon since I was about 5! We booked it in November 2012, leaving a couple of days after the wedding. We didn't really have a budget because my mum said she would put a very generous amount of money towards the wedding. So she is paying for the honeymoon, which leaves us with the wedding to pay for.

So we have booked 2 weeks in French Polynesia, 1 week in Moorea and 1 week in an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora! Will cost the same amount as our wedding, but it is 2 weeks rather than 1 day!

Were not having one :( because paying for the wedding ourselves it kind of left us with no money left soooooo i think it will just be an extra special family holiday when finances are sorted out, or even a late deal after were married i have 3 children so need family friendly as i couldn't stand to leave them behind x

We booked a last minute deal a few weeks before the wedding and got a week all inclusive in Spain. We would have loved one of these once in a lifetime holidays but we simply couldn't afford it. However, we had an amazing time on our honeymoon and loved it. As long as you get to spend some time together, it'll be great :)

I agree with IDL, the best part of the honeymoon is simply spending time together :)

Were off to Mexico :) we were looking at Italy as somewhere to just go after the wedding to chill, but 7 nights in Italy was the same price for 9 nights in Mexico - so that one won :)
