1 Week Delayed Honeymoon

Married couples - did any of you leave for your honeymoon a week or two after your wedding instead of immediately?

We initially wanted to leave the next day to continue that "wedded bliss" feeling but we have another friend's wedding the following Saturday so trying to arrange flights in order to make it back in time essentially makes it a 4-day trip.

Now we're thinking of leaving mid-week the week after their wedding (1.5 weeks after ours). For those of you who did the short delay, did it still feel like a honeymoon? Was it less exciting since you had already been back to the normalcy of daily life like going to work?

Probably overthinking it, just curious about other's experiences!

    FH is a teacher, so we're leaving for our honeymoon roughly a week after the wedding. This way he can finish the school year with his students. Sometimes you have to do what needs to be done!

    We are not leaving right away because it is tradition in our culture that the following day there is an after party so we’ll probably take 2 days to recover, go they gifts, reminisce and then take off for our honeymoon for 3 weeks in Hawaii Smiley smile

    We are delaying ours for the same reason! We and our friends almost ended up booking the same weekend, but thankfully they picked a week later!! We also wanted to wait until our kids were settled into the school routine before we left for a week and a half. We will be leaving three weeks after our wedding. I’ll try to remember to let you know how we felt when we get back!! 😉

    We're getting married the end of Feb and going on our honeymoon cruise 2 weeks later. We did this only because of the cruise timing. But I think it will be nice to get a little breath after the wedding and be rested for the trip. And I think we will still have that newly wed bliss because it will be our first major trip together out of the country, no family or friends to worry about visiting just us 2 lounging around for a week and a half!

    We got married in May and because my husband started a new job that Monday we haven’t even planned our honeymoon yet. We are thinking some time this winter but whenever it is it will be just as special for us.

    Our honeymoon was about 8 weeks after our wedding, and we loved that it was delayed! It gave us multiple things to look forward to. Plus, H got sick the day after our wedding and would have been miserable on our honeymoon. So glad we waited!

    I’ve also had friends tell me they were so exhausted after their wedding that they spent the first few days of their honeymoon in their hotel. We’re waiting a month, then going.
