We’ve caught up with over 1,000 newlywed couples to talk to them about their honeymoon preferences and, what we’ve found is quite surprising.
54% of those who don’t have a honeymoon stay home to save money.
More than 1 in 10 people who get married don’t even have a honeymoon, with the main reason for half of these being the cost involved. 3% of newlyweds simply decide not to, out of preference, but why wouldn’t you want a relaxing break after getting married?
Just over 1 in 5 shrewd newlyweds had the great idea to request a bit of cash from their loved ones to put towards their honeymoon, instead of a traditional wedding gift. After all, in this day and age, most couples already live together before they marry, so who needs a new toaster anyway?!
When asked about their dream honeymoon, the Caribbean was the most desired destination and the ideal length stated would be 4 weeks.
No respondents went to Paris and only 2 went to Venice for their honeymoon.
