The honeymoon is one of the most romantic and unforgettable experiences for a couple who has just married. We sell how it has evolved, starting from the moles and arriving at the new tendency of group trips near home.

Past

Traditionally, the honeymoon was planned to start immediately after the wedding reception. In this way, the detachment from the family was immediately outlined; Its roots, however, are even deeper. It arises from the concept of kidnapping, but over time the marriage becomes an agreement pre -established between families, therefore it is no longer a kidnapping, but a “escape” that today is only a symbolic custom. The desire to dedicate itself of time remained, the new intimacy after sanctioning a “love pact” throughout life.

At the dawn, a honeymoon, or honeymoon, lasted an entire lunar cycle: from here the much known term derives. “Of honey” because not only refers to the sweet effusions of the couple in the moment of peak of their love, but also to a drink typically used to celebrate marriage that is a sweetened wine in honey. The latter was the only sweet thing in the western world before the arrival of sugar cane.

Present

Today organizing the honeymoon is seen as the organization of a holiday. A holiday, always for the couple, looking for something intimate, but not again. The couple’s trip is not the first holiday that is done together (in most cases), but it is a time to find energy after a stressful period like the planning of a wedding (which is not a walk).

It becomes a moment to be together and think about the future, while remaining as a rite of transition from the family of origin to the birth of a new nucleus.

The couples are looking for something beautiful and perfect, choosing exotic and distant places to celebrate their love. We often choose goals that (in the future, with children and new house) would be more complicated to organize.

It is not only this, the choice also falls on distant places that with all days of vacation per year you could not allow you to do.

To the future

We go up to the highest step and turn around, we see that in recent years there has been a new trend: group trips near the house.

Why does this gear change on a tradition rooted by a lifetime?

The answer is not entirely obvious and is called Covid-19.

The pandemic has radically changed habits and also part of the traditions, including traveling and the approach to holidays. We are talking about vacation and detaching the plug, of intimacy and dream, it is all seen from another perspective.

Due to the pandemic, many couples have had to delete or postpone travel abroad, starting to explore and visit the beauties found in our country or nearby.

The future spouses begin to request to organize group trip to nearby locations, perhaps with friends and relatives, instead of flying abroad for a more exotic holiday.

This trend abroad is already a trend: “Buddymoon“. It is no longer the journey in two, of the couple, but the unforgettable journey shared with others. A unique experience (also in this case). Many couples prefer to continue the celebrations with friends and create a holiday that is exclusive to its kind.

Instead, then, there are also couples of several newlyweds (friends) who decide to organize the honeymoon together. An ad hoc organized program for all couples who, although with different interests, prefer to sit at the end of the day together and share unique moments just passed.

By choosing this type of holiday, the advantages are there.

1. First of all (we are not hypocritical) economic. Costs are reduced to travel abroad.
2. less transport and accommodation costs, which means that you can invest more in the wedding ceremony.
3. The movements are easier, for couples and for the participants in travel.
4. No visa or specific documentation to be requested.
5. less flight/travel hours.

Reading like this, it would seem to be satisfied or do something under the “tradition”, but it is not so. There are many wonderful places to visit near the house, from the beaches to the mountains, from cities to natural parks.
