What's More Exciting: The Wedding or the Honeymoon?

TresSugar — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 06:00:00 -0700

The wedding is supposed to be the big day, but for some it's just an excuse to go on a romantic vacation with your new spouse once all the planning and socializing are over.

If you were getting married, what would you look forward to more: celebrating with all your friends and family at the wedding and reception, or escaping it all for some one-on-one honeymoon time?

Which Is Better: A Relaxing or Adventurous Honeymoon?

TresSugar — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 08:30:00 -0700

After the stress of a wedding, a relaxing honeymoon is the perfect way for newlyweds to kick off wedded bliss. But for a couple without that much vacation time, the honeymoon could be their only excuse to explore that place in the world they've always wanted to see - even if that place doesn't come with beaches! Plus, some people get a little bored lounging around after a few days.

Did You Fight With Your Husband on Your Honeymoon?

DearSugar — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:00:00 -0700

After the big day is over, I can only imagine how exhausted the bride and groom must be, and I know when I'm tired, I get cranky and easily irritated. Sure, honeymoons are all about celebrating each other and relaxing after the mayhem of planning a wedding, but being a newlywed doesn't automatically make you immune to arguments. A week in a remote destination can be a lot to handle so ladies, knowing you're only human, tell me, did you and your hubby argue on your honeymoon?

Dear Poll: What's More Important? The Wedding or the Honeymoon?

DearSugar — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 08:00:00 -0700

My friend is getting married later this month in a fairly modest wedding - just over 30 people at her grandparents' home. She and her fiancé decided to take all the money they would be spending on a bigger wedding and plan an ultrafabulous honeymoon.

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard a couple put their honeymoon plans before wedding celebrations, and while I can’t say whether or not it’s what I’d want for myself, I definitely see the appeal. What do you think? Is the wedding or the honeymoon more important to you?

How Often Did You Have Sex on Your Honeymoon?

DearSugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:00:00 -0700

When you mix sexy lingerie with a picturesque atmosphere, love can't help but be in the air, and since honeymoons and sex go hand-in-hand, it's no wonder that newlyweds spend more time behind closed doors than anywhere else! So ladies, if you've been lucky enough to honeymoon with that special someone, give us single ladies something to be jealous about and tell us, how often did you get busy?

Dear Poll: Did You Buy New Lingerie For Your Honeymoon?

DearSugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:00:00 -0700

I can't think of a honeymoon without instantly thinking about sex - they just go hand in hand. Not only does hotel sex make everything more fun, but dressing the part is another piece of the puzzle that sets the mood for romance. Even though I'm not a lingerie girl per se, I'm all for bending the rules for special occasions and I can't think of anything more special than your honeymoon! So ladies, even though you spent a lot of money on your wedding, and no doubt a pretty penny on your honeymoon itself, tell me, did you buy new lingerie for your honeymoon or did you pack your sexiest getups from your already-established lingerie wardrobe?

No Trouble in Paradise: Stay Safe Tips For Honeymoon Cities

CitizenSugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 03:00:40 -0700

While there are some exotic vacation and honeymoon spots with a dangerous rep that are softening to tourism now, some popular and seemingly harmless getaway locales require a little extra vigilance. Here are some tips, straight from the local police, to make sure your next getaway is as romantic and trouble-free as you'd like.

Heading Abroad?

Barcelona:
Watch out for the kindness of strangers - If someone asks how you like Barcelona or tries to hug you, hold on to your valuables tightly.
Cancun:
Beach jewelry isn't such a bargain. It's almost always made from inferior metal. A police spokeswoman says, "They might get a cheaper price [on the beach], but the jewelry is definitely not of the highest quality."
London:
Take the city-licensed black cabs, and not the amateur "minicabs" that wait outside of tourist spots - in 2006 ten people per month were assaulted by minicab drivers.
Montreal:
Lock your car, and move any valuables to the trunk - leaving your ride unlocked might even earn you a $30 ticket.

Heading for some fun in the sun, or to take in some historical sights? To see tips for more cities, read more.

Fun in the Sun!

Las Vegas:
The biggie? Time your cab trip. If it takes more than 20 minutes, you've been had.
New Orleans:
Shy away from street hucksters looking to make an easy bet with you - chances are, they're scam artists.
Orlando:
Steer clear of discounted multi-day theme park tickets sold outside the parks. Reselling the passes is a no-no and you'll get turned away if you're caught.

Sightseeing. . .

Philadelphia:
Don't leave your GPS in the car, especially around prime tourist spots like the Liberty Bell.
Washington DC:
Keep track of personal electronics on the Metro, and car doors locked at gas stations - even if you're just running in to pay.

Want to make sure your honeymoon or vacation is safe for the planet too? An igloo in Switzerland or a treehouse in Africa - part of a growing trend of eco-trips - might just be paradise for you, and the planet.

Dear Poll: Relaxing or Adventurous Honeymoon?

DearSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Yesterday Honeymoon Fiasco Francesca asked me for advice on how she and her fiance could compromise on their honeymoon destination because she wanted to relax and he wanted to explore. Since I've never been married, I can only imagine how hard it must be to agree on where to go for your honeymoon, not to mention agreeing on everything that comes a long with planning a vacation. When the time comes for me to make such decisions, I'll be all for relaxing and getting pampered, but what about you? Would you prefer a relaxing or adventurous honeymoon?

The How-To Lounge: Honeymooning at Home

DearSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 15:00:00 -0700

Though the idea of spending the week after your wedding exploring Mayan ruins, eating real Italian pizza, or lounging in the Caribbean is fantasy worthy, for many newlyweds the reality is that such extravagant (and expensive) honeymoons just aren't possible. But fortunately, there's still plenty of just-married fun to be had without a plane ticket or months of planning. To see my ideas for honeymooning at home please read more.

Probably the most obvious possibility is to plan a weekend away that doesn't involve an airport or a $400 per night hotel room. Keep your driving distance to no more than half a day to cut down on extra costs and give you the most time possible to enjoy your time away.
A great play on the weekend away, but even less demanding, is a simple day trip to a nearby locale. Try a big city adventure, a low-key romp through a small town, or find a nearby lake you can spend some hours sunning on the shore.
Pack up the car, make a few playlists on your iPod, and hit the open highway - or better yet, the back roads! An old-fashioned road trip can mean serious fun. Come up with a general itinerary, but don't let a schedule dictate your trip. To keep things truly authentic and conveniently cheap, eat at local spots and stay at roadside motels.
If you really can't take time off or just don't have any extra funds, take turns doing something special for each other each day for a week. It can be a homemade meal, a thoughtful card, or just doing all the cleaning while the other relaxes on the couch. Not only is it a great way to show each other how much you care, but it's also a great pattern to get into at the beginning of a marriage.
Or, just stay in the comfort of your own home, but make it count! Rent all the movies you've been wanting to see, order you favorite take-out food, and pick up a bottle of massage oil. For a few days, make it just about relaxing and spending time with each other.

Most importantly, just make sure the days after your wedding are a chance to celebrate your newlywed status!

Bride Gets Carried Across The Threshold

GiggleSugar — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 09:00:00 -0700

Well, kinda. As reality would have it, the groom hurls the bride over his shoulders like a jumbo sack of potatoes while huffing and puffing his way up an endless flight of stairs and then "romantically" collapses a few steps short of the front door. Ah, the stuff that fairy tales are made of.
