I did a little digging on Google and found that honeymoons date back to Biblical times. Check this out from Wikipedia: "Possibly the earliest reference to a honeymoon is in Deuteronomy 24:5 'When a man is newly wed, he need not go out on a military expedition, nor shall any public duty be imposed on him. He shall be exempt for one year for the sake of his family, to bring joy to the wife he has married.'"
Your honeymoon is not just a chance to take an awesome vacation as Mr. and Mrs., but it also gives you both some much needed time to unwind together after months of planning. Now, back to the reason I started this post in the first place...
Many couples receive help paying for their wedding but not their honeymoon. Remember, while it is nice, no one is truly obligated to pay for anything. With the economy the way it is, everyone is looking for a deal. The good news is, there are great deals on travel.
I've been doing a bit of research the past few days, and while there are lots of helpful travel sites out there, I would like to point you all in the direction of Budget Travel. How does a vacation package in Hawaii, including airfare, for under $700 sound? Or $67 per night in the Caribbean? Europe anyone? I'm finding their site to be the end-all-be-all of discounts. They are really staying on top of all of the current deals, and you may just find one perfect for your post-wedding getaway.
Happy honeymooning!
