Honeymoon on a Budget

15 simple ways to save money on your honeymoon

No one wants to skimp on their honeymoon. Posh accommodations, intimate meals, and soothing massages rank high on the wish list of virtually every newlywed, but most people don't have an unlimited expense account. No need to take the backpack-and-hostel route -- just focus on these five areas to cut down your costs.
The Planning

A little legwork early in your engagement goes a long way toward balancing your budget.

1. Consider a travel agent
It's easy to find a flight and book a hotel over the Internet, so the idea of working with a travel agent might seem antiquated. While it's not for everyone, Tim Leffel, author of Make Your Travel Dollars Worth a Fortune, observes that a travel agent can save money for those who don't have a specific destination in mind. "If you just want to go to a nice Caribbean island and stay in a hotel on the beach, agents can often find deals that you might not run across yourself." So if your heart's set on the Four Seasons in Nevis, use the Web. If you're open to any number of islands and resorts, see what a travel agent has to offer.

Honeymoon in Vegas

So you get married and you figure, "Why leave Las Vegas?" Have your very own Honeymoon in Las Vegas and think about one of these hotels for your romantic stay.

Need a Deal to Vegas? Compare Prices on Las Vegas Hotels with Kayak.com, Expedia.com or Southwest Airlines. They should give you a good idea of what you can expect to spend on a Las Vegas vacation.

Bellagio Hotel and Casino for Your Honeymoon in Las Vegas

I know predictable, I pick the hotel that is known for being very luxurious and extremely high end. Well, it's just so nice and so luxurious I would be fooling myself if I did not list the Bellagio as the one place where almost everyone would have the Honeymoon of their dreams. Order some room service, pop the champagne and fill the tub with bubble bath. Need I say more? Sure, it would cost a hefty price but realistically you should have the mindset of the couple who says this is a once in a lifetime experience. Marriage is forever, right? Read review

Weddings in Greece How to get married in Greece

Greece makes a wonderful setting for your wedding, with a limitless selection of magical settings & scenic backdrops for your big day! Changes in the laws in the last few years have made it much easier to have a wedding in Greece so getting married on a beautiful Greek Island is now easier than ever.

Greece provides a wealth of historic architecture & ancient ruins for those who love culture. The climate & beaches provide a sun worshippers paradise, while couples who want nightlife & action will not be disappointed. There are so many diverse wedding locations across the Greek Islands & the Greek mainland that deciding where to get married in Greece is the biggest problem!

Greece & many Greek resorts provide a great location to combine a great holiday with a fantastic wedding. Most of the weddings are held in the islands of Santorini, Corfu, Mykonos and Rhodes where foreign weddings are more common because they are such popular tourist destinations.

It is possible to have a Greece wedding virtually any location, anywhere in Greece. Outdoor weddings, beach weddings, Church weddings & other religious weddings are all available. In Santorini, for instance, you can't find a setting more romantic then on the rim of a volcano with the sea 1000 feet below. It is custom, though optional, for weddings in Greece to take place at sunset because of the heat of summer plus after a sunset ceremony you can go directly to the reception of eating, drinking & dancing!

Legally it is relatively simple to marry in Greece but not as easy as 'Greek style' Cyprus - where marriage laws are simple.

Weddings in Greece are legal for couples from the US, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Europe & most other countries. The paperwork required will depend upon where you are from and your personal circumstances. But it has got much easier to arrange than it once was.

If you want to do it on your own you will need to contact the president or mayor of the community for a civil wedding, or the head priest for a religious wedding. Some documents have to be translated such as your birth certificates. And follow the exact procedures that they will tell you.

Most couples opt to use a wedding company to help arrange their marriage for them but you can arrange your wedding yourself.

Quotes from couples married in Greece

'I just love Greek weddings, that's probably why I got married there! It was a great atmosphere, we had everything, the food, the dancing, the sunshine...everything.'
- Laura & Anthony, married in Greece Sept 2008
