Married Seniors - Where Did You Go On Your Honeymoon?

[SeaBreeze]

Our honeymoon took place in the mid 70s, and since we were both nature and animal lovers, we went to Yellowstone National Park. We had a great time there, and I remember getting out of our truck to take a photo of a moose on my instant camera, the kind where the picture pops out and develops in a minute or so.

Where did you and your spouse go for your honeymoon? :love_heart:

 

[Josiah]

A little country get away that didn't cost very much at all. Gee, I was as cheap then as I am now.

 

[Mrs. Robinson]

Disneyland! We were too young to go anywhere else

My current and final husband and I got married in 2000 in Scotland. I had never been and had never seen my new home until I arrived 2 days before the wedding. We had met up in London and on his various trips to the US.

So on our honeymoon he took me around Argyll, the very large county we live in. Wedding night a very lovely country hotel in Kilfinnan. Then to Kilmartin for a night to see the area which is packed with 5,000 year old megalithic sites which I love. A couple of nights on the Isle of Iona and a night on the Isle of Mull. The rest of the two weeks were day trips. I totally fell in love with Scotland!

I had no honeymoon with my first husband we were very young he was in the Navy and got only a weekend leave for the wedding and then went back the following day for a month at sea..


The second one we only had 2 nights in a luxury hotel in Cambridge about 20 miles away, then both of us had to be back at work.

 

[Ameriscot]

I had no honeymoons with the first 2 husbands.

 

[Pappy]

Never had one as I was home on leave from the Army for a few days.

We were both in college (1971) and couldn't afford a honeymoon. We did take a trip to Wisconsin the next year and sort of considered that our honeymoon.

Married in NYC Trinity Church on Wall Street in 1960...and flew to Detroit (courtesy of our employer...WNCN) to meet my mother in law and the rest of husband's family. The plane had problems, and made an emergency landing in Binghamton, NY. Fire trucks and ambulances all over the runway.

But...we survived. Still with the same guy...

We'd both been married before and liked going to Las Vegas for entertainment. Soooo, that's where we decided to go to get married.

We took our matron-of-honor and best man along with us. Had a great time.

 

[AZ Jim]

Number one marriage we went to Las Vegas. Number two (and last) we went to Canada. Number one marriage lasted 14 years number two marriage has lasted 41 years so far.

This is where we spent our wedding weekend.. Cambridge England

and this quaint quarter in the middle of the city is where the hotel is situated..


Oddly we didn't take any photos of ourselves that weekend...

 

[Ameriscot]

Love Cambridge!

 

[Vivjen]

My Mum and Dad were born and brought up in Cambridge; I like it very much, and go fairly often.
they were married there..

Honeymoon in Scotland. First night in Edinborough, then up to the Highlands and finally over to the Isle Of Skye[no road bridge then, you took the ferry from Kyle Of Localsh.]Very romantic.We were young and didn't mind the cold!

Our honeymoon didn't cost much either Josiah, we drove there and camped out. When you get back to nature, the experience is rich and valuable, without all the bells and whistles. I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else with my hubby.

LOL OA you've spelled Edinburgh just like the Americans would pronounce it... I have friends who live on the Kyle of Lochalsh..believe it or not they hate it, but it's beautiful there IMO...

 

[hollydolly]

Love Cambridge!

Yes me too AS...it's only 30 minutes drive from here..

Always best to go during half term tho isn't it,?.. then you can find somewhere to park in the City centre when the Universities are away on break..

 

[Vivjen]

I park and ride; next to Waitrose! It is only round the corner from where Grandma lived; so I know that end of town best!

 

[hollydolly]

...I usually find a space on the road next to Jesus Green park, but there's parking meters there ...

I noticed that as well. Americans also seem determined to say Glass-cow as well!

I know bless 'em...but what really gets on my nerves are the English who try to imitate the Glaswegian way of pronouncing Glasgow by saying...Glass-gay....noooooo if you're going to try and imitate the local vernacular at least get it right..it's GLESGA!!!
