What’s the rush?

ONCe upon a time, honeymoon was the ultimate romantic getaway for newlyweds, with couples jetting off immediately after the wedding. However, today, not even the UK royals have time for an instantaneous trip. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle return to work just one week after their nuptials. Instead, the royal couple-to-be will enjoy a postponed honeymoon similar to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who set off to the Seychelles a few months after their wedding. 

“It's hard to make the timings of the wedding and the honeymoon fit around the couple's jobs,” said Robin Weil, founder of Weddingplanner.co.uk. Delaying one's honeymoon could also simply be a case of wanting to decompress at home after post-wedding exhaustion, says Hamish Shephard, founder of wedding planning app Bridebook. So, ‘mini-moon’ becomes a popular trend, where couples enjoy short breaks in local destinations immediately after weddings.
