Taking The Whole Family On Your Honeymoon: Unusual Wedding Accomodations
Posted on: 6 March 2018
It sounds strange to take extended family on a honeymoon with your new spouse, but it is not that strange. In fact, in the Middle Ages, many of the wedding guests were invited to witness the consummation of the wedding couple so that there was no doubt that the marriage was consummated! While most couples would never dream of doing that, they do plan destination weddings combined with honeymoons.
In short, they plan to meet up and marry at a particular destination, and provide lodgings for all of their guests to stay. Then the guests can stay and play in the same place as the honeymoon. Here are a few unusual wedding accommodations that provide families with this exact kind of arrangement.
Campgrounds and RV Parks
For a truly rustic wedding, campgrounds and RV parks allow couples to marry in the rangers' cabin (some rangers actually officiate!). Then the couple stays in a honeymoon cabin or bungalow, while the rest of the family stays in other cabins, tents, or RVs in the park. For families that love to camp and be close to nature, this is a nice arrangement.
Big Theme Parks
There are some very notable theme parks that provide accommodations for the couple and the entire wedding entourage. Most couples choose to get married in the parks near something iconic, like a castle or a favorite ride, prior to the parks opening for the day. Then the entire family or wedding group is free to enjoy the parks for the remainder of their stay and stay in the resorts nearby.
Destination Weddings to Tropical Islands
This is one of the most common means of getting married and having your entire wedding and honeymoon in one location. The whole family and wedding party have rooms in a resort. After the ceremony on the beach, everyone can celebrate on the beach or in a conference room in the resort. The rest of the time, the couple and the guests are free to explore their surroundings and enjoy what the resort, the city, and the chosen island have to offer.
Discounts for Large Groups
The reason why so many couples take advantage of a group package deal for their wedding and honeymoon at any of the above places is because there are big discounts for large groups traveling together. It is essentially the family vacation you never had, plus the wedding and honeymoon you dreamed of, all for a low cost. Since no one has to travel together in the group, everyone can explore on their own and allow the newlyweds to have their own time.
