Honeymoon question

[Goin2thechapel]

When I get married It will be right in the middle of a semester of school. I'm finishing up grad school and that will be my last year. Because I'll still be in school we've decided to get married on Nov. 11 and sleep at an inn for that night and then Honeymoon in January. We already live together. Someone told me that it was tacky to do it this way, but school is to important to me especially being so close to finishing. Have any brides done this before? Does anyone think this is a bad idea?

Why in the world would this be tacky? If you don't have the time to take a real honeymoon now, then you don't have the time.

I totally agree about spending the night somewhere special that night. And schedule your January Honeymoon instead of waiting.

I speak from experience. My husband (of over 16 years) and I weren't able to have our Honeymoon when we got married (he just started his new job the previous Monday and had no leave time available). Although we've gone on vacations and had some weekends away together without our son, to this day we've never had our Honeymoon. It didn't even occur to us to spend the night someplace other than our apartment!

Go ahead with what you have planned.

Why would this be tacky? School is more important and your almost done. I don't see what the problem is.

Finishing up your semester is the most important . . . the honeymoon is secondary to that. What you're planning is not tacky . . . don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Wishing you the best ~

I agree with the other posters....why would this be tacky. I have heard of a lot of couples doing this. My fiance and I were going to do this because we thought we would not be able to fit a honeymoon into our budget, but we found something that we could afford (we are paying for everything by ourselves) and we are now able to take a small honeymoon after the wedding. Otherwise our honeymoon would not have been until 5-6 months after the wedding.

I have to agree with everyone else. This is not tacky and anyone who tells you it is, does not have a clue what they are talking about. If money or time is an issue, well I don't think anyone can ever tell you that taking your honeymoon when you have the time or the money, is tacky. Do it the way you want, it is your wedding and you are the one that knows how and what works best for you! Have a good honeymoon, no matter when it is that you decide to go on it!!!

Hi most definitly go with your plans its far from tacky in my opinion. Me and my fiance already live together too with 2 sons and we are planning on just spending the night away from our kids for the night and then when our boys are alittle older then we plan on taking our honeymoon you see our boys are 2 yrs and 6 months and we really don't want to leave them that long. I'd go for what you plan and forget what anyone else thinks. It's your wedding and your honeymoon not theres.
