You just got married and you’re tired from all the planning, preparation and execution. It’s time to enjoy your time with the one you have promised to spend the rest of your life with, but what if you spent your entire savings and your vacation time on the wedding itself? Fear not, here are some quick honeymoon alternatives for you.
Staycation
Stay where you are and pretend to be a tourist in your own hometown or city. Check-in to a local hotel. Indulge yourself. Have fancy dinners in expensive local restaurants and see your surroundings through the eyes of a visitor. You’ll be surprised sometimes, when you find out new things you have never noticed before.
The Mini-moon
Consider spending two or three days right after the wedding on a quick getaway to somewhere close by to recuperate. Stay in a big hotel in a close by town for a few days and enjoy some quiet time with your partner before having to jump back into “real life”.
Quick Outdoor Adventure
Enjoy the great outdoors, whether it be camping or backpacking. As long as you both love nature, there’s no reason why it couldn’t be a short, two or three-day romantic getaway to refresh you. Some time away from the hustle and bustle of the city could even be healthy.
Hit the Local Beach
Head down to a local beach for a day or two – lounge around in the sand, sipping drinks and lying down with each other; or splash around in the ocean. Finish off the day with a romantic stroll down the beach at sunset, hand in hand, while contemplating your future lives together.
