Delayed Honeymoon Regrets ?

We did a mini-moon with hopes of planning something longer in the future. No regrets here cause we are enjoying married life.

I think the mini-moon concept is a good compromise. Spend some time away, but save the big trip for later.

We're not planning to go on our actual honeymoon until our 1 year anniversary.

Are you able to do a little get away? My FH and I decided to our cruise in January or so because the prices in July are insane! So instead we're going to do 5 days in Austin Texas!

We did a mini-moon and we wanted to do a delayed honeymoon, but we never ended up doing it. We bought a house and worked on paying down loans and also had babies. We're hoping to do a big 5 year anniversary vacation though. I wish we'd been able to go on a big honeymoon but we're both happy with what we decided to do with our money so I don't think there's regret, but maybe a little disappointment. If we went back in time we'd still make the same choice.

I'm doing the same thing. Getting married 4:15:17, FH and I have 2 children that are in school and don't want to be selfish and take them out of school to take them to my moms out of town for a week and a half so we are going to wait 2 months once summer hits and goes. We will however be taking three days off of work right after to have some "us time" while children are at school and such. We already live together and have been together for 11 years. I'm 28 and FH is 33. Following this post to see others opinions though.

We have to wait because of work. It sucks, and I'm bummed about it. But it's just what we have to do.

Why would there be any regrets? You're still taking a fabulous vacation! You're getting married in March, so by waiting a few months you might be catching your destination in a nicer weather pattern. Many couples take a mini-moon before taking a larger honeymoon. Relax and enjoy!

We are doing a mini-moon and have already booked flights and hotels for our honeymoon in August to Spain, Morocco, and Portugal! I'm so excited but soooooo glad we aren't doing it right after the wedding because that would just be too much to plan!

A week after the wedding my fiance leaves for two weeks of military training. The honeymoon is getting delayed for us, but we're fine with that. We'll have some extra time to plan, research, prepare, etc. Plus it gives us something to look forward to a few months after the wedding!

Thanks for all the advice! We're totally leaning towards the mini-moon, we just don't know where we would go yet. Like MAMW said, we might have some disappointment if we never go. I feel like once we're married, I'm just going to be concerned about saving for a house that the honeymoon is not going to be relevant anymore.

Take a mini-moon and just enjoy each other. FH and I were going to postpone our honeymoon but he decided that we were already sacrificing so much to have this wedding that we would most definitely need a week long vacation and a week long staycation, so we're technically honeymooning for 2 weeks. But seriously look into a mini-moon.

We did a mini moon, then the big real deal several months later. Personally, I was so exhausted and stuff from all the wedding stress, it was a relief to just relax at home and unwind. Then we still had time to shop for clothes, research and book excursions and dining reservations, and get other stuff ready for the trip. We also had that time to financially recover a bit from the wedding and re save up. And then we had the big trip to look forward to.

For us, it was perfect!!!

We did a mini moon for a couple of days just to relax and are leaving for Europe on 4/15. We can't wait!!

We are doing a mini moon to FL and then in December taking our kids(9 and 5) on a cruise again so they can have fun and we can have some alone time as well. I wanted to do a big honeymoon but with our wedding so close to budget a big honeymoon is not happening right now and we are ok with that.

We're waiting 2 1/2 months to go on our honeymoon due to schedules. Our wedding is on Friday, and we'll be back to work on Monday. I'll breathe easier next month when we book our flight/hotel.

We are going in April, so it will be about four months post-wedding. It's best for us because the weather will be better where we're going, also we have it to look forward to! I don't think the days after the wedding we're any less magical or special because we weren't at the beach. I think you'll find you might be overthinking it

We went to Maine for our HM because DH had to be back to start grad school classes about a week and a half after our wedding and for financial reasons. We also still haven't gone on the big European trip that would have been our dream HM, but we are hoping to go this summer/fall. I think if a trip is important to both of you, it'll still be important in the future. Yeah, life happens, and we haven't had the money to go on a big trip (or any trips really) with DH starting a business and me still in law school, but it's still a goal of ours that we're planning for before we have kids, even though we also want to save for a house and pay off student loans.

We are having to do two weddings because we have family members that are not able to fly, one in nyc for my family, march 26th. And one in Poland for his family, April 21st. Because of this we are doing a mini-moon to New Orleans and Tulum for a week. Then we will plan our honeymoon for later either this year or next, it's just too much to do because of life, i'm moving from nyc to london to be with him and then also training for the nyc marathon in november. you just need to make sure you sit down and plan it out, because you don't want to never have the honeymoon!

Almost a three year wait but leaving for Italy in 6.5 weeks!

Im waiting until may to do the honeymoon( gotta get this degree!). So 3 weeks will pass after the wedding. Think about it this way, you won't be exhausted from the wedding when on your honeymoon. You won't have to worry about who is going to take your dress while you're gone. You get to breathe for a second before leaving on a vacation.
