Recession fails to curb newlyweds’ passion for dream honeymoon

RECESSIONARY blues are not preventing newlyweds from cutting back on their dream trip, new research has found.

A survey conducted by Hotel.com showed that 98% of couples are still planning to honeymoon after their wedding, and one in four said budget should not be a factor as a honeymoon is a once in a lifetime experience.

However, one in eight (12.6%) did admit they would be happy to take a shorter break directly after the wedding and wait until they have more money for a bigger holiday, showing a shift in attitudes is beginning to emerge among newlyweds trying to be more sensible with their money.
