Weddings are expensive. Especially after the high cost of an engagement ring.

Planning a honeymoon along with your wedding can add to the high cost, but is so worth it for that perfect escape. There are plenty of things to consider when it comes to planning and paying for a honeymoon. The top things to think about determining how much to spend on a honeymoon are where you want to go on your honeymoon and how long you want to go for. A travel agent may add to your total costs or help save you money with exclusive deals and packages.
