Dear Queenie,
Is there some rule about having to take your honeymoon right after you get married? My fiancée and I can’t afford a honeymoon trip right now. We are saving up for it, but it’s going to be a while before we can afford it, but we would like to get married right away.
Queenie, do we have to wait to get married until we can afford the honeymoon?—Honeymoon Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
There is no rule that I know of regarding when you must take a honeymoon. In fact, there is no rule that I know of that you must take a honeymoon at all.
So, get married when you are ready and take your honeymoon when you can afford it. If anyone gives you an argument about calling it a honeymoon, tell them it is a “deferred honeymoon” or just your first vacation together as a married couple.
It is really nobody else’s business what you call it, anyway.
