Would You Pass On A Nice Wedding For An Awesome Honeymoon?

Well, my dream wedding was actually just going to the courthouse with my family present. My first husband wouldn't go for that so we had a small church wedding with a couple attendants. My second husband had no problem going to the courthouse with me - he was all about saving the money so that worked out well!! The next day we had a party at our community clubhouse, we got fried chicken from the amish market, the cake from a grocery store, and people pitched in a brought the side dishes - probably cost us less than $2,000. Then we went to Aruba for a week!!! I definitely say, spend it on the honeymoon - it's hard to get alone time after that!

I guess it depends on your personal preference. In my opinion, the wedding and reception are kind of for everyone else, such as family and friends. But the honeymoon is for you and your spouse only. When I got married, we did something kind of in between. We had a relatively small wedding (approximately 125 guests) and a small reception with no meal. Then we went to Tahiti for 10 days on our honeymoon. I couldn't see spending thousands of dollars on a wedding and reception that lasts for a few hours. I would much rather have spent it on a great honeymoon that lasted much longer.

A wedding has greater significance than a honey-without a wedding, the honey moon is obviously hollow because what are your honeymooning about?. A wedding tends to be religious, in my country it is done either in a church or a Mosque, it is marriage neatly displayed before men and before God, so it deserves a honey thereafter. Now if the condition is honey moon before wedding then OMG, I rather have the wedding and forego the honeymoon!

I think I would ahve to pick to have an awesome honeymoon, a wedding is a one day affair we as a honeymoon is a few days and you have more time to relaz and enjoy it

I could not do it. My wedding was for all of us, me and my husband, our parents, sisters, brothers, grandparents. A way to join both families. It was nice to have evryone together in one place to share our special day. If I have to do it 100 more times I would do it the same way because family means a lot to me. But If someone wants to do it some other way thats fine by me whatever works for them thats why we have all these options available.

I would probably go for the honeymoon. Yeah, she won't get her dream wedding, but her family will still remember the day she got mattied and (hopefully) be overjoyed that she got married before being whisked away to paradise.

Well, I honestly would say that I would go for the awesome honey moon! I had the fru fru fancy wedding and a mediocre honey moon to go with it, so I guess if I had a second chacne to do it over that's what I would do - especially since it's a private island!! I didn't even know those existed any more!! I would for sure go with paradise and skip the flowers and fancy dresses! Good luck to them in everything!
