I'm currently loving our decision to wait a few weeks before our honeymoon. I work in sales, and leaving the office for any amount of time can be stressful. We initially decided to postpone our honeymoon so that I could wrap up my sales season, but this decision ended up being amazing for so many other reasons.
Firstly, we got sick right after the wedding! We're not too old to party, but we're surely too old to recover. The six hour car ride back to our home the day after the wedding was borderline painful. We kept thinking how hard a flight would have been. After returning to Boston, we were both sick for two days: Sore throat, low fever, fatigue... definitely in no shape to enjoy a honeymoon.
Secondly, we still have something wedding-related to look forward to! The wedding festivities made us so happy, and the fun hasn't ended yet. We leave for Paris and Barcelona in mid-June, and we have a little time to enjoy being newlyweds in our home before then.
Finally, we didn't have to plan a honeymoon in the midst of wedding planning! Sure, we made sure to book our flights and accommodations in December. Beyond that, we're currently flying by the seat of our pants. (This is probably why I coordinate events instead of vacations.) The best part? Being unplanned is totally okay as of now, because we have a few weeks to figure out details.
Of course, the most important thing to remember is that we're building a marriage, not a wedding (or honeymoon!) So don't be afraid to wait a while before your honeymoon. Whether it's for financial or pragmatic reasons, it can be a great option.
Hugs,
Lisa
