HONEYMOON
The
wedding journey, or honeymoon, as we now call it, has always been a chance for
the newly married couple to enjoy privacy (and in times past the opportunity to
get to know each other), and relaxation after the busy period leading up to
their wedding.
It is so called because the feelings of the couple for one another during the
wedding journey were supposed to equate to the phases of the moon.
Financial
realism
From the moment the couple make decision to marry, the cost clock starts to
tick. Honeymoons, like weddings, have to be planned with regard to the future
financial responsibilities of marriage. Honeymoons, like weddings, have to be
planned with regard to the future financial responsibilities of the marriage.
The fact that a honeymoon is a unique experience in the relationship is often
guilty of encouraging unwise extravagance without due consideration for the
future.
Time
and distance
The effort
of planning a wedding and the emotional excitement mean that they are exhausted
and thought must be given to restful activities. Trying to go too far away will
only add to your tiredness. Try to give yourself a couple of days clear on the
return trip to acclimatize to normal life before returning to work.
Passport
and visas
These
should always be checked for validity well in advance and with enough times to
spare to solve any problems. Grooms will normally book honeymoon tickets in the
name of Mr. and Mrs.,…. Brides will not always have had the time or energy to
have their passport amended to their married names before wedding in which case
they will need to remember to travel with their marriage certificate to prove
their identities if necessary
Injections,
Inoculation And Diseases
Travel
to many destinations involves recommended inoculation against certain diseases.
The disease epidemics can also travel fast and change the nature of their
resistance to the various drugs which are constantly being developed to keep
them at bay. Consequentially, recommended doses may be changed at a moment's
notice and even if you have recently traveled to your intended destination and
have previously had all the injections etc.., you may need to check that you are
still protected.
Insurance Cover And Medical Emergencies
Any form of foreign travel, however close to home, should never be undertaken
without proper travel and insurance cover. We are extremely fortunate and secure
in the knowledge that no matter we are, we will quality for immediate and free
emergency medical treatment. Insurance policies will normally involve the
insured paying the initial medical cost to be reimbursed upon their return and
upon proof being given of the costs involved in the form of receipts or
invoices.
Other Emergencies
However carefully you plan a honeymoon and however sensibly you behave while you
are there, it is possible to find yourself in difficult or emergency situation.
Language problems can make matters even worse. British citizens abroad can call
upon the consular section of the British Embassy or High Commission in the local
capital, or upon the British Consulate or Deputy High Commission to be found in
some provincial centers. If you are going very far away it could be wise to find
out where these are situated in relation to your destination.
Who
To Travel With ?
Most honeymoons will be booked through travel agents specializing in a certain
type of holiday or travel to certain parts of the world. The level of service
and experience offered by different travel agents can vary enormously so it is
always better to travel with an agent who has an established reputation.

newly weds do not consider anything but an immediate honeymoon. They may be more
romantic but less practical. You would have to plan your wedding and honeymoon
dates carefully, so that everything goes off smoothly. It takes meticulous
planning to have as evening wedding and then catch a flight for your honeymoon
the following morning! You don’t always need to rush from the wedding mandap
directly to the railway station or airport! An ideal wedding deserves an ideal
honeymoon.
