For some couples, their honeymoon is their ‘holiday of a lifetime’ and it pays to choose carefully. You shouldn’t decide haphazardly, and what looks good on paper isn’t always so. Here are some steps towards that perfect getaway: - STEP 1: Decide if you want to have one! More couples are waiting months or even a year to have their honeymoon for a variety of reasons - they may have just started a new job, or they may be finishing university, or even just more time to save up! STEP 2: Sit down with your partner and make a list of things that are essential (tropical setting, surfing) and what you can live without (beachfront villa). Discuss whether you’ll take off for the honeymoon immediately following the wedding or whether to postpone it a few days, weeks or longer. STEP 3: Surf the Web and scan travel magazines for destination ideas. STEP 4: Agree on a honeymoon that suits both of your personalities. Hedonistic hammock-dozers and lovers of la dolce vita will swoon for a beach resort in the Caribbean, Hawaii, Fiji or Tahiti. Exotic dreamers who love to scuba dive and snorkel will flip for the Seychelles and the Maldives. Fun-in-the-sun personalities will be drawn to resorts, where you can go from a pool to the golf course to a reggae-blaring beach bar to the spa and back to the pool again. Or fly to a cosmopolitan European city that has a great restaurant and theatre scene. If a sprig of forsythia, wooded strolls and a vintage bottle of wine stirs your souls, a country inn in Italy has newlywed written all over it. STEP 5: Talk about how you’ll pay for the honeymoon and, if it’s necessary to save up for it, how you’ll go about that. Please see below for list of Premium Wedding Suppliers

OVERALL TIPS & WARNINGS Things to consider when choosing your
honeymoon: - 1.If you need new luggage and travel essentials, add these items to your wedding gift list.
2.Use a good travel agent to help you to find out your preferences and advise you accordingly.
3.Use any airmiles you have for upgrades to first class.
4.Pay a bit more for a fabulous view. Even the most expensive and luxurious hotel room won’t be worth much if you have a view of a car park or rubbish bins.
5.If you are taking your future husband’s name and use your new name on the airline tickets, take the marriage certificate along for proof. You could be turned down at the airport for having a different name on your driver’s license.
