Honeymoons are holidays taken by a newly married couple soon after their wedding. They are a traditional, or at least common (if private) part of wedding celebrations in some cultures.

There is increasing marketing aimed at romantic honeymoon-like holidays: for example "babymoons", the last holiday before the birth of a couple's first child, engagement celebration, and anniversaries.

PrepareA honeymoon in Western countries typically begins a few days after the wedding ceremony: the couple spends a night or two after the ceremony in their home or in a hotel rather than adding long-distance travel to the end…
BuyA honeymoon may require careful budgeting: the balance of the trip will usually be due around the same time as the balance of the cost of the wedding itself!
