The honeymoon, they say, is the perfect time to occupy the partnership of your loved one and only, wallow in his/her love and relive the beauty of falling in love again – before the hassles of married life starts. After the marriage preparations, this is one of the truly memorable experiences of your marriage. Now, there’s just the two of you, as one, in some quiet, private place without any distractions, any interruptions – just love and love and love, and of course, more time for each other.

So, how and where do you intend to spend your honeymoon? While some can afford the affluent hotels and resorts with all-inclusive packages, others may feel a need to be more reasonable and settle for something on the average, within their means. Here are some ideas you and your partner might want to chew over.

You had your first date in the seafront. He proposed to you in an extravagant restaurant. You’ve forever wanted to go to Europe and see the Eiffel Tower, walk along the streets of London, and wine and dine at the fanciest Italian restaurants, or ride the Gondola. A honeymoon abroad is definitely something you might choose to scrimp up for. Explore the places you’ve always dreamed of seeing!

Sail on a cruise. There’s fresh sea air, the eye-catching ports, the wide exhibit of food, and a berth that fits your needs – what to a greater extent can you ask for? And at evening, there’s amusement and festivity at the ship’s deck. And just take for granted the places you’ll be able to lay eyes on!

This may be your one and only possibility to stay at a stylish, five-star, top-of-the-line hotel. Then go for it! It always spells a better room, with all the comforts inside – a well-stocked mini bar, a Jacuzzi for some swimming, perfect display of the deep blue sea from your deck. This is the good life at its best.

You’ve ceaselessly been inquisitive about the Sin City and its attractions –the casinos, the seven-card stud poker games, the cabaret dancers, the clubs, and the lights. A few nights at Vegas by your loved one may loosen up some of those exhausted, old muscles and prepare you to embrace more fun.

There’s something about all-inclusive honeymoon packages and couples-only resorts. It’s Privacy. If you want something wild, you might want to consider trying an au naturel beach where you can bare yourself and get that wonderful buff minus the bikini lines. From California to St. Martin to Cap d’Agde, there’s some seed of honesty in the adage that the best things in life can be done naked. No need to splurge on honeymoon clothes!

Depart to an island – no phones, no emails, no work, no babble, no distractions, just the two of you. Provide for your body, mind and spirit and appreciate each other’s companionship.

Relive your first meeting. In lieu of going away to a little mysterious place, you might choose to stay on more acquainted grounds and spend your honeymoon in the place you first met, or the locality where you had your first date as a couple. Doesn’t matter if you two met at the bus depot – then spend the day taking a joyride in the bus as you reminisce and look back at that first meeting.

Stay near to home. A picnic in the park, or at the garden, in the backyard of your own environment may be the perfect honeymoon destination. No need to spend lavishly on an expedition abroad, fine dining, hotel accommodations and additional all-inclusive extravagant packages.

In the close, what matters is the company, not the grandness of the place, not the lodging, and definitely, not the cost.
