ARRANGING THE HONEYMOON

• Try to avoid mentioning specific destinations – this is a surprise after all and you don’t want to ruin things!

• As long as you know that your partner has invested a lot of time and effort into planning it, make sure they knows how much you appreciate it.

• Approach the trip with anticipation and excitement, not dread and fear. Perhaps you are heading somewhere that has never appealed, but his research has been done and you should trust him on it.

• Finally, if things don’t go as planned, do not blame your partner or make them feel guilty – they did their best.

Whether it is a surprise or a joint decision, there are a whole host of things to consider before booking and just as many to think about afterwards. So take your time when planning. Read everything you can get your hands on, speak to everyone who may be able to help, and most importantly, look to go wherever you want and do whatever makes you happy – this is your honeymoon after all.
