Finally, you two are a married couple now and are eager to explore life as one. The honeymoon is a perfect time for that bonding and merrymaking. We know, you're excited and have anxiously awaited particular vacation for a variety of reasons. But there are some things that no one tells you about it and you need to be prepared for them as well. Read on to find out more.
1. You won’t have time to plan every detail
There’ll be so much on your mind. You’ll be trying to work on your wedding details and make sure everything is in order, and stress will take over too often. It may get easy to forget that you need to plan your honeymoon and it’s important to consciously take out some time to do this. You’ll be grateful that the trip is waiting for you once the madness of the wedding celebrations ends and it’s time for you to unwind and take off with your partner!
2. You may fight
Yes, you’ll be newly married and experiencing a different kind of bliss. That doesn’t mean you won’t fight or get cranky with each other. It may even take time getting used to being married and that’s perfectly okay. Once you stop feeling cranky and are over the little things, you’re bound to take away precious memories from the trip and cherish for a long time.
3. It may be disappointing
Not in every way, of course. But you may find that your expectations aren’t met and things don’t pan the way you want them to. It’s important to remember that even goof-ups can make a trip extremely memorable and you’ll have an amazing story to tell later. It’s crucial to ensure that there’s good communication between you and your partner - you’re allowed to talk about anything under the sun and don’t need to hesitate at all.
4. It will help your bond
You may have taken many trips together before and will take off on many more adventures in the future. However, this is the first time you’ll be checking in as a married couple, and there’s something special and wonderful about that. You’ll form everlasting memories and find yourself recalling many moments from the trip. It’ll help your relationship and is a trip truly worth taking for the priceless moments and unmatched experience.
5. You won’t feel like coming home
This is quite true. Your wedding period, the dreamy honeymoon and everything else will keep you so occupied; you’ll kind of dread going back to routine things like work, chores, paperwork and more. It’s completely normal and understandable to feel that way, and what you should do is make the best of your time together on your special getaway.
6. You may be very tired for a while
This is quite possible. You may not feel excited for a couple of days because you’ll still be experiencing withdrawal symptoms from the wedding rush and getting your thoughts to settle down. The great thing, though, is that they honeymoon will help you spend quality time together and allow you to recover from the stress and wedding madness away from the chaos.
7. You won’t feel the same all the time
Don’t believe popular myths, every day won’t feel like a holiday and you won’t feel pumped up every single time you need to head out to check out a new place and get some sightseeing done. Sometimes, you’ll just want to order in and do something completely normal like watch TV on the couch together and that’s acceptable!
Hopefully, our list made you feel prepared for the worst. Remember to find yourself some fail-safe solutions to each of these problems, use humour, pranks or romance - whichever works for you. Now go enjoy the best!
