Are you going on a "mini-moon"?

10/21/2013

0 Comments

 
Fun piece in this Sunday's NY Times on the new trend of taking a "mini-moon" right after the wedding and the official honeymoon a few months later.

I love this new trend, and wish it had been going on when I got married back in 2002.  Because I felt like the brides quoted in the piece (and I bet you do too):

  • Planning fatigue -- the idea of planning a really nice honeymoon is overwhelming, on top of planning your wedding
  • Money is tight -- paying for a wedding and honeymoon in one fell swoop...that's a lot of dough
  • Work is neglected -- the final weeks before your wedding, let's be real:  your work gets a bit neglected.  It's tough to imagine tacking another 2 weeks off after the wedding.


Interesting statistic:  of the 38 couples married at the Whiteface Lodge in Lake Placid, NY, half took mini-moons after their weddings.  To read full article, click here.

I can think of 3 brides I worked with who married this summer who are taking "mini-moons."

How about you? What are you doing?
