So this about the brides-to-be and the grooms-to-be going solo for a little vacation before the nuptuals?

 

If one or the both have the time (off work/school?) and the funds to pay for something, I see nothing wrong with it.

 

I'm sure they'll still have at the very least a honeymoon (night).

 

Me, personally, I wouldn't have wanted to take any extra time off before my wedding or spend the money for a trip, not even a weekend getaway.  

 

And I'm not one to go solo anywhere--not even a dinner out, but that's just me.

 

I did think it was weird for a married couple to go on separate honeymoons, but that was a misunderstanding from jump.  (But that's just me.)


 

 

I thought the Op meant after the wedding.


That's what I originally thought, but someone else mentioned they heard it was before the nuptuals.

 

Who knows!

My BF thought that separate houses was the best arrangement and was the only way she’d remarry. 🤣

Someone mentioned maybe I was eating breakfast and didn't  get the story correct.

Just saw this on the news. What gives ? It's a time to spend together and celebrate your marriage.  Makes me think of the song "What's love got to do with it? "  I would much rather spend the time with my new Husband !  What do you think?

The way things are nowadays, they've got to stay home with the kids!!!

If they have lived together for X number of years before the wedding the “honeymoon” is nothing more than a vacation. Call it what it is. So going separate ways for vacation… Not a big deal.

Heck, why not, they have done everything else!  Or maybe they are working on their communication skills which would probably mean see who texts the most. But wait, there is phone "x", and selfies and as they would say on the Big Bang, the dirty store.

Plain & simple...separate is not a honeymoon!

Re: COUPLES NOW GOING ON SEPARATE HONEYMOONS !

Since many couples live together prior to marriage, they don't need a honeymoon.  Honeymoons once were  when couples were first intimate. Not today!  Now honeymoons are  just vacations.   If they've lived together for a long time, they may need seperate vacations!

Re: COUPLES NOW GOING ON SEPARATE HONEYMOONS !

just because it's on the news doesn't make it mainstream. Probably 2 or 3 couples did it and that makes it "newswothy". They look for the bizarre and creepy to write about..
