IS ANYONE NOT DOING HONEYMOON ANYMORE!?

Honeymoon: A Simple (But Complete) Guide

But is a honeymoon an unnecessary additional expense? 

Is there a solution to the challenges with the burden of planning for it?

Growing up, honeymoon used to be the dream of every teen's wedding plans.  It was as the saying goes, the icing on the cake. The prospect of riding into the sunset with the Love of your Life, and after the conclusion of your wedding, was a moment just too good to not fantasize about.

 

For me, this was greatly inspired by romantic movies and fairy tale happy ending cartoons such as Cinderella, Barbie, and many more. But unfortunately, when adulthood struck, a different reality sank in. Honeymoon, once the toppings of wedding celebrations, is now considered by many as unnecessary additional expenses. For some others, too much stress to plan.

These are some of the key reasons that have led to the steady decline in honeymoon in several parts of the world and here in Philadelphia.

But is a honeymoon an unnecessary additional expense? Is there a solution to the challenges with the burden of planning for it?

4 Possible Reasons Newly Wedded Couples don't go for Honeymoon

1. Money - some couples neglect their honeymoon because of the cost that comes with the vacation. However, experts in wedding planning like K'Mich have created suitable honeymoon packages for any  budget. 

2. The Stress of Planning - Planning for a wedding is a very tedious task so it's very understandable that most couples would be exhausted and would dread the added stress of planning their honeymoon. Most couples as a result would rather not do it, and try to find a less stressful alternative (stacation).

3. Individual Differences -This might come as a surprise to you but we've seen cases where couples have arguments on where their honeymoon should be. In some of those cases, they can't end up reaching a compromise and end up scrapping the honeymoon or seeking alternatives.

4. Not knowing - some newlywed couples' honeymoon is less important so they decided not to plan/ budget for it. Also, most couples nowadays don't know the importance of a honeymoon being a necessity for marriage.
