If you could relive your honeymoon would you change anything?





We took a long road trip through the mountains, but we didn't really plan it out the best.
I was fine just winging it, but my beautiful bride was not. LoL!

I guess if I could do it over I would look at a map first. 
Otherwise it was fun. : )

Where did you go on your honeymoon and if you could relive it would you change anything?

    We were struggling students when we got married.  Neither of us had any parents to speak of but my cousin did pay for a hotel room for us. (God bless him).  Decades later we had a belated honeymoon, our 40th wedding anniversary, in Northern California.  That was quite a big change from the first unhoneymoon.

  • It's kind of a sweet story though you know?
    I always respect couples that get married with no money because you know that they must really love each other.

    We didn't have much money either.
    We had a very small wedding and I paid for the honeymoon with a savings bond that my mother had saved for me since I was a child.
    We're not together anymore, but we did make it15 years and we have a great child so it was all worth it. : )

    No.  I would not change the Greek Islands nor would I change the person I married.  We had a wonderful time.  I can say, I wish the black beaches on Santorini weren't so hot... but other than that, we had a BLAST!  For the reasons we went, and at that age, we had the time of our lives.  It was one of the best trips we've ever taken!!
    If I had the opportunity to do it again at our ages now, I might do things a little differently.  I would go for a lot more lounging around and a lot less exploring of the islands.  Will you please pass the Ouzo? Thanks! ;) ;)

    Awwwee!  Thank you Truthseeker.  "I Do" love Don very much as he does me.   I am very lucky. 
    We've been together a long time and never a dull moment has been had.  Not 40 years yet but we will get there sooner than we know :) Time flies when you're having fun. 
    Our Honeymoon was a trip our friends and family bought for us.  We didn't ask for China or Silver, monogrammed bath towels or waffle irons for wedding gifts.  In fact, I think I only registered at one store and that was because it was the proper thing to do.  My Grammie and mom made me!  Big smiles! All we asked for were drachmas!  This was back in 1996 when they were still using them.  I've heard they cease to be used and euros took their place.  So, many thanks to all our friends and family who helped make our honeymoon what it was.  The beginning of a wonderful life together. :)  Thanks again Truthseeker.  You really are a very nice person.  Love, Merlin This post was edited by Merlin at January 31, 2018 4:01 PM MST

    We couldn't take much of a honeymoon because of my job and his school as well as no money.  His parents wanted us to wait until we graduated college to marry and we refused so.  We did manage a couple of days up in the Smokies which was wonderful.  Then about a year later, he graduated and we went to Europe for about six weeks.  We were poor but back then the dollar was so strong it cost almost nothing to be over there.  It was my first trip to Europe and I haven't had another one to compare.  We had a ball and skipped almost every major city.

    Yes maybe save up enough money so we could afford to both go at the same time together.

    Yeah next time we might borrow her uncle's car so we can drive somewhere and sleep together in the car.

  • Yes.

    We went to the Daintree National Park. It was absolutely beautiful and well worth seeing.

    But now that the Great Barrier Reef is dying, I wish we had gone there, to see it while it still had areas of good health and spectacular diversity.

  • That sounds like an interesting and beautiful honeymoon, thanks for sharing. : )

    Yes, that's very sad about the Great Barrier Reef.
    Something to do with climate change I believe?
    Scary for sure.
