62 April 2014 www.womanthismonth.com WEDDING | 10 tips Something new You could be talking to someone about your honeymoon even when you’re 80 and have forgotten what you had for breakfast. Make the story worth hearing. Learn something new while on holiday. It could be something as simple as a dance or cooking class. Travel smart You’ll be returning with souvenirs. Pack light. You don’t want to be occupied with work or stay hooked onto the screen. So leave your laptop behind. Wedding and engagement rings tend to get lost on honeymoons; keep them in a safe. Make sure you’ve some kind of paperwork at hand that proves you’re a couple. 2. 3. 4. 5. A surprise element This might not be the best marriage advice, but you don’t need to share everything. Nothing beats a good surprise. Treat your partner to an unexpected spa day or book your last night’s stay in a luxury hotel. You could even sneak in a short cruise. Plan the Perfect Honeymoon The most compatible couple will be exhausted, emotionally if not physically, after planning the simplest wedding. Your honeymoon is your escape from stress. These tips will help you keep planning this stage completely hassle-free. 1. Pick a spot As adventurous as the concept of throwing a dart on a map may sound, this is not the time to be spontaneous. You don’t want to celebrate your love drenched in a rainforest or scorched in a desert. Find a place that you both can enjoy, both alone and together. If you’ve ever had a dream destination on your bucket list, this is your chance to get there. Stay entertained Newlyweds have felt cheated by honeymoon packages, which left them seeing nothing and doing much less. Your honeymoon is still a holiday. You want to wake up when you feel like it, go where your feet take you and you would like to stay idle or busy depending on your mood. So plan your activities together for lazy and lively days.
