    A honeymoon is really just a vacation...you can take one whenever you feel like it (and can afford it).

  • We took ours 6 months after our wedding due to vacation time and money.  It still felt like a honeymoon to us. 

  • I don't think it's ever too late.  My parents didn't go on a honeymoon type vacation until their 20th anniversary.
    Whoever said it was supposed to be happily ever after is a big fat liar.

  • A honeymoon could be anything.  Go somewhere close for a few nights...have some alone time.  When the funds build, take a more extravagant one.

  • it is never too late. We waited six months and still had a good time, well great time. Do not go when you are strapped for cash that would be no fun

    Yup.  My parents have taken a honeymoon every decade that they've been married, just the two of them, and something wonderful and new to both of them.
  • We are waiting to take our honeymoon as well. We are getting married June 2013 and are waiting until "winter break" to take our honeymoon because I'll be in my last year of law school, and interning somewhere the summer we get married, so we plan to do a quick diney getaway (we live in south FL) and somewhere more extravagant (cruise or all inclusive) in december 2013.
