Going to the beach… There’s no question that relaxing on a beach is the most popular honeymoon itinerary. No matter where you go, the ocean, sand, and sunshine are going to be exactly what you need to unwind after the stress of wedding planning, but how can you choose which beach to travel to? Travel agents can help you book your stay at an in- credible resort with stunning views, excellent service, and exciting excursions. In order to make this vacation different from every oth- er beach vacation, we recommend trying something you’ve never done before. Order an exotic dish or local cuisine. Embrace your adventurous side by zip-lining or cage diving with sharks! Fun expe- riences like these will make your honeymoon memorable for years to come. Going to the city… There is no better time to explore a new city like Rome, Beijing, or even Chicago than on your honeymoon. It gives you the chance to adventure off with your new spouse and explore the unknown together. Our suggestion to you is to immerse yourself into the cul- ture of the city itself. Be a traveler rather than a tourist. Stay at a local bed and breakfast instead of a massive chain hotel, or rent out an apartment! Become a regular at a local coffee shop down the street and find a hidden gem of the city that isn’t in the tourist books. Talk to natives about their favorite part of living in the city and spend time getting to know their customs and values. You may just stumble upon a place you’ll want to visit over and over again to celebrate your anniversary. Going to the snowcapped mountains… Imagine sitting next to a cozy fire in a log cabin with your new husband or wife as you watch the snow drift down outside. If this sounds like the perfect, relaxing getaway for you, consider head- ing to a snowcapped mountain! You can ski and snowboard, shoot down tobogganing slides, or embrace your inner child by making snowmen and snow angels. A snowy vacation gives you time as a couple to truly revel in the fact that you are married. Long con- versations will stretch into late nights and you’ll learn even more about each other than you did before your engagement. Though heading north isn’t the traditional destination for a honeymoon, sharing time together (and snuggling to get warm) can create some beautiful and magical memories. Going on a road trip… What’s a more amazing way to spend your honeymoon with your new spouse than on a cross-country road trip? You’ll spend hours together playing road games and singing to your favorite songs. Fighting over directions might not be pleasant in the moment, but resolving the issue and talking it out together will make for good LET’S GO + SEE HONEYMOON PLANNING 112 | TODAY’S BRIDE READ MORE AT TODAYSBRIDE.COM
