Step 7. Planning the Honeymoon | |||||||||||
And keeping your sanity intact | |||||||||||
| |||||||||||
This is the important part | |||||||||||
That's right, planning the honeymoon is the important part, not planning the wedding itself. The simple fact of the matter is that the wedding lasts a day (give it three days if you count rehearsal dinners and stuff), but the honeymoon should last at least a week, and maybe even two or more. Not to mention that while the wedding involves mostly mingling with people while wearing an uncomfortable outfit and trying not to spill food on it or drinking too much (more on this later), the honeymoon involves going off somewhere nice and having fun. Just the two of you. It really doesn't get much better than the honeymoon, so you should definitely enjoy it, but to enjoy it, you are going to have to plan it carefully. | |||||||||||
Use this as a refuge | |||||||||||
Planning the wedding itself can get a little overwhelming (and tedious) at times, so use planning the honeymoon as a refuge from that. Your fiancee probably won't be impressed if you take a break from planning the wedding to watch cartoons on TV, but if you take a break to plan the honeymoon, well she can hardly complain! Besides, these days there is so much information on the internet that you don't even have to get up from your chair unless you really want to. | |||||||||||
Get air conditioning! | |||||||||||
Okay, I'm going to assume here that you are going somewhere sunny and tropical, because that's what the majority of people do. If you aren't, don't worry, what I'm about to say still applies to you. I want you to make sure you get air conditioning because you need to maintain a comfortable temperature for sex! That's right, you should get hot and sweaty as a result of having sex, not just by lying in your chair! Nothing kills the mood better than being so hot you dread physical contact. By the same token, if you are going somewhere cold (skiing perhaps?) make damn sure your room has a cozy heater. Except all places have heaters, so you don't even need to think about that one. Not all places have air conditioning. | |||||||||||
What if you can't agree where to go? | |||||||||||
Honestly, you should probably call off the wedding. If you can't agree where to go (and I mean a serious discrepancy, not just fighting over which island in the Bahamas), you might not be suited for each other. How people travel and spend their vacation time is very telling, and if you want to go on some exotic adventure while all your fiancee wants to do is read books in her room, well there are problems in your future. | |||||||||||
