GC coming after honeymoons (NY Post)
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 25th, 2018 4:14 PM Author: Exhilarant university codepig After saying “I do,” many millennial newlyweds are forsaking the traditional honeymoon for a new trend: the “many-moon.” Between their sense of adventure and career-focused lifestyles, a few quick getaways through the first year of marriage are both more exciting and practical than a traditional two-week tropical vacation, one expert says.
“Today’s couples don’t want to sit on the same beach for 10 days straight. Often, they want to mix it up and yes, sip some cocktails in Tulum but at the same time, they want to take in the artists season in Prague,” wedding planner Amy Shey Jacobs told Yahoo Lifestyle on April 12 of the “many-moon” phenomenon. “It’s easier to do that by taking shorter trips to more places.”
According to the latest Romance Travel Study from The Knot, roughly 82% of newlyweds are opting for two- to five-day romantic getaways after the big day, USA Today reports. A few exotic trips are only only appealing, but smart a smart career move, for many hardworking lovebirds.
“Couples can’t get away from work when they want to anymore. The pressure doesn’t comport with the traditional two-weeks-off-the-grid honeymoon,” Jacobs adds.
After getting married in September 2017, Juliette Scwab told Yahoo that she and her husband Brett Caspi didn’t want to celebrate with a huge honeymoon given their obligations at the office.
“September was an extremely busy time for both us with work. So, rather than taking a big trip after our wedding, we decided to take a week off and go to Napa and Sonoma in California doing what we love doing: eating, drinking, and just being together,” she said. “I figured it’s best to fit it all in and travel as much as possible before we have a family.
The many-moon route worked out in their favor – Schwab and Caspi have since visited Columbia, and intend to get to London, Paris and Barcelona this year.
As per Yahoo’s advice, newlyweds are wise to schedule many-moons around weekends and federal holidays to get the most out of their adventures.

I do love that Yahoo advice at the end -- "Include weekends and holidays to get more days off!" Uh, yeah, thanks for teh hot tip |

|
Date: May 25th, 2018 4:41 PM Author: Exhilarant university codepig i disagree with this and especially as it relates to the article
the idea of a honeymoon is to take a long, exotic trip with your new spouse. in the past maybe it was the first trip you had taken together. today perhaps it's 2 weeks in french polynesia instead of a week at the jersey shore like normal, or 2 weeks all over italy instead of that one time you spent 5 days in London.
but if you're suggesting that people do those now anyway, why is the article saying that newlyweds are opting out of the longer, more exotic trips for their honeymoons, if they've been taking them together all along? |
|
Date: May 25th, 2018 4:48 PM Author: Brilliant misanthropic philosopher-king i'm saying that young urban elites are already taking longer, exotic trips 1-2x/yr, and it's not just some once in a lifetime honeymoon trip.

|
Date: May 25th, 2018 5:39 PM Author: Brilliant misanthropic philosopher-king i think the article is trying to describe a phenomenon and isnt getting it totally right.
the model for vacationing has changed. in the past, people in their 20s and 30s had families and went away in august and december. now, you have a bunch of childless couples and singles. and airfare is cheaper and easier, and jobs are more flexible. the concept of a 2 week vaca at the end of aug and a 1 wk vaca over xmas is outdated to the umc / urban elite. |

Date: May 27th, 2018 12:50 AM Author: big-titted karate One factor not mentioned here is that weddings are a bit more of an ordeal now thanks to rootless cosmopolitanism.
Like, we took a shorter "mini-moon" before our honeymoon because (a) who wants to go on vaction in July and (b) we already took a week off for the wedding to spend with all the family and friends flying in. When you were basically inviting people from the same town to come to your wedding, you didn't have the same obligations to entertain everyone as you do now. |
