It’s taken weeks, months and in some cases years. You have pulled your hair out listening to your mother-in-law-to-be’s opinions on everything, you’ve stressed about canapes and had nightmares about being swallowed by flower arrangements. But the day comes: you’ve said ‘I do’, cut the cake and perhaps even enjoyed ‘the best day of your life’. Yet in reality the best bit comes next.

 

The Honeymoon

 

Weddings are beautiful occasions but they are often stressful and very rarely intimate. You had one day to parade your love around in front of your family and friends, but the honeymoon is the time when you get to relax and simply enjoy being married for the first time. No crying page boys or parents; nothing to organize or stress over; there’s just relaxation, fun and enjoyment.

The big question however is ‘where’?

If you’ve spent so much time planning your wedding that you’ve scarcely had time to think about your honeymoon, then here is a quick rundown of 3 different types of honeymoon getaways in different locals that you might enjoy.

If you’ve spent a ton on a wedding, you might not want to break the bank with an over-the-top honeymoon. Yet, even when money is an issue, there are still plenty of places available that will give you the romantic getaway you need. One great option is Budapest. In the heart of central eastern Europe, Budapest has old world European city charm but is nowhere near as expensive as Paris or Prague. Budapest is a place of beautiful architecture, scorching summer weather and various atmospheres; it is a relax paradise and crazy party town depending on the area you visit. The secret to why Budapest is a great honeymoon spot is it’s location; the city was built over hot springs and is famous for its spas, meaning you can have the ultimate relaxation holiday. Many hotels have their own spas attached like the Hotel Gellert, meaning you can enjoy a couple’s massage without even leaving the building.
