The honeymoon hasn't always been the post-wedding
vacation as we know it
today. The word actually originated in
northern Europe from a tradition involving
wine made from mead and honey. The newlywed
couple drank this bittersweet wine, called
metheglen, for a month after the wedding
to bring them good luck in the marriage.
Honeymoons
in the modern sense (i.e.
a pure holiday voyage undertaken by the
married couple) became widespread during
the Belle Époque, as one of the
first instances of modern mass tourism.
This came about in spite of initial disapproval
by contemporary medical opinion (which
worried about women's frail health) and
by savoir vivre guidebooks (which deplored
the public attention drawn to what was
assumed to be the wife's sexual initiation).
The most popular honeymoon destinations
at the time were the French Riviera and
Italy, particularly its seaside resorts
and romantic cities such as Rome, Verona
or Venice. Typically honeymoons would
start on the night they were married.
How to Plan
Wedding honeymoon?
Everyone always likes to find out where
couples go after their wedding day for
their honeymoon. I have gotton this article
on how to plan a wedding honeymoon. Now,
this will not tell where all the hot spots
are for newlyweds, but it will give you
7 things to keep in mind when planning
your wedding honeymoon.
Following Things should be kept in mind
to plan wedding honeymoon:
1.) If your wedding is
scheduled for late afternoon or evening,
the groom will need to arrange for a nearby
hotel for your wedding night.
2.) If you will be traveling
out of town, consult with a travel agent,
who can offer valuable tips on vacation
sites, their available activities and
weather probabilities, and take advantage
of the best rates for hotel and travel
accommodations.
3.) If you are flying,
take a carry-on bag that contains all
the essentials for a day.
4.) If you are driving
a long distance, lock all luggage in the
trunk as a deterrent to robbery.
5.) Carry a copy of your
marriage certificate with you when traveling
abroad, particularly if your passport
is in your former name.
6.) Remember, do not
over schedule. Your wedding honeymoon
that you are planning is a time to get
to know each other better.
7.) It is a nice gesture
for you and your groom to telephone both
your parents when you arrive at your travel
destination. It will let them know you
have arrived safely and will also offer
another opportunity to thank them for
the wedding. |
