Honeymoon-staying close to loved ones?

We wanted the honeymoon to be just the two of us. But if we had family in Jamaica we might do that or at least for a vacation later on.

Hey Colleen, I hear what you are saying,

I am even thinking of maybe seeing them for only part of the honeymoon and then part we'd kinda be in a different part of Jamaica... it's hard to decide.

My FH is Costa Rican so Costa Rica was an inexpensive option for us but it was a firm no from me. I didn’t want to spend the week after the wedding catching up with everyone who couldn’t make it to the wedding. We’ll want some privacy.

I would actually probably pick a destination where neither of our families live. I wouldn’t want to spend our honeymoon with his family, and I’m sure he would feel the same. I want our honeymoon to be just the two of us

Hey Farrah,

Yeah, I don't blame you for feeling that way. My fiance doesn't seem too keen on the idea but it's mainly because he'd prefer to stay in a resort. We know we'd have our place place to stay in the country side. We wouldn't be staying in their house but would most likely rent an airbnb close by. But my fiance is leaning more towards the resort. I don't blame him for feeling that way though.

My mom lives in Grenada in the Caribbean. She offered a place to stay and to buy our tickets with airline miles. It was hard to pass up but I had to for a few reasons. First, my fiancé did not want that. Next, we wanted more adventure for our honeymoon. And last and most importantly I’d feel very compelled to spend time with my mom since I don’t see her often and that kind of defeats the honeymoon purpose.

I want the honeymoon just us 2. My dad was trying for me to have a destination wedding but I didn't want to spend that week with my family lmao kind of rude I know! Maybe you could go another time and visit family!

Hey Talia,

Yes, I understand that!! So true.

I think that would be a good destination, but would probably say to stay by yourselves at a resort and meet up with them for a day or two depending on the length of your trip. Seeing family is nice, but I would want some privacy with my husband as well.
