It was a moment that I had been dreaming of since the day we got married – my first honeymoon with my wife. We had decided to take a two-week trip to the Caribbean and explore some of the islands. The thought of finally being able to spend quality time alone with my wife after the hustle and bustle of the wedding planning was exhilarating. From the moment we stepped onto the beach and felt the warm, tropical breeze against our faces, we knew that this was going to be a trip to remember.
How we meet
I’ll never forget the day I met my wife. It was a typical summer day, and I had been out for a stroll through the park when I noticed her sitting on a nearby bench. I could feel an immediate connection between us and before I knew it we were deep in conversation. We talked for hours that day, and as the sun began to set, I knew I wanted to see her again.
Little did I know that years later, after spending countless nights together, I would be taking my wife on our first honeymoon. The anticipation was palpable as we drove to our destination – a romantic beachfront resort nestled in the Caribbean.
From the moment we arrived, we both felt right at home. We soaked up the warm sunshine and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. During the day we lounged on the beach, went paddle boarding, and snorkeled in the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. And at night, we enjoyed candlelight dinners under the stars and spent time walking along the beach holding hands.
It was one of the best times of my life, and I’ll always cherish the memories of our first honeymoon. We promised each other we would never forget the feeling of being together in that moment, and it is something that still fills my heart with joy every time I think about it.
What to do on a honeymoon
Going on a honeymoon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that couples look forward to for months leading up to the big day. As newlyweds, it’s important to take the time to connect and enjoy each other’s company while exploring a new location. To make sure your honeymoon is memorable, here are some tips on what to do on a honeymoon.
1. Relax and Recharge: A honeymoon should be a time of relaxation and rest. Whether you’re lounging on a beach or exploring a bustling city, make sure to take time to recharge and reconnect with your partner. Take naps, enjoy romantic meals, or just spend time talking and laughing together.
2. Explore Together: When going on a honeymoon, it’s easy to want to split up and do different activities. However, make sure to plan some activities together, so you can create lasting memories together. Visit a museum, take a cooking class, go for a long walk, or explore a local market – whatever sparks your interest!
3. Try Something New: Whether you’re traveling overseas or somewhere close to home, your honeymoon is the perfect opportunity to try something you’ve never done before. You could take surfing lessons in Hawaii, go river rafting in Colorado, or get the adrenaline pumping with bungee jumping in New Zealand.
4. Indulge in Luxury: During your honeymoon, you deserve to indulge in some luxury and pamper yourselves. Whether it’s booking an exquisite meal at a five-star restaurant or splurging on a spa day, take the time to enjoy special treats that you wouldn’t normally get to enjoy together.
5. Capture Memories: Last but not least, make sure to capture the moments of your honeymoon that you’ll want to look back on for years to come. Take lots of pictures and videos throughout your trip, and create special memories that will last forever.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your honeymoon is an unforgettable experience that will stay with you for years to come.
What not to do on a honeymoon
When you’re planning your first honeymoon with your new spouse, it’s important to think about all the things you should avoid doing. After all, a honeymoon is supposed to be an exciting and special time, not a time to be bogged down by small annoyances or big mistakes. Here are a few things not to do on your honeymoon:
1. Don’t Over plan – It’s easy to get caught up in wanting to see and do everything when you’re on a honeymoon. But overplanning can lead to stress and exhaustion. Instead, enjoy some leisure time together, whether it’s lounging on the beach, exploring the local sights, or indulging in some spa treatments.
2. Don’t Be Cheap – While there’s nothing wrong with trying to save money where possible, be careful not to skimp too much on your honeymoon. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you want to cherish forever. Splurge on a nice dinner or a luxurious hotel stay and make sure you have an unforgettable time.
3. Don’t Let Technology Rule Your Honeymoon – While it can be tempting to document every moment of your honeymoon on social media, resist the urge to spend your whole trip plugged into technology. Put away your phones and tablets and focus on enjoying time together as newlyweds.
4. Don’t Forget To Have Fun – One of the most important things not to do on a honeymoon is forget to have fun! Enjoy every moment with your spouse and don’t worry about making perfect memories. At the end of the day, what matters most is spending quality time together and creating lasting memories.

What we did on our honeymoon
My first honeymoon with my wife was nothing short of amazing. We decided to stay close to home, and it was a great choice. We spent two weeks exploring the lush nature of British Columbia, visiting all sorts of interesting spots along the way.
One of our highlights was visiting the incredible Cathedral Grove in MacMillan Provincial Park. It was awe-inspiring to stand among giant red cedar trees that are over 800 years old. We also explored the area’s beautiful forests and waterfalls, and stopped at several quaint towns on our journey.
On our second week, we headed further up north, towards the Gulf Islands. We went whale watching and kayaking, and enjoyed the fantastic views of the surrounding mountains and ocean. We even took a day trip out to Salt Spring Island, where we had lunch at one of the local farms, and did some shopping for local crafts.
Overall, it was an incredible experience, full of unforgettable memories. We can’t wait to go back on our next honeymoon!
What we wished we had done differently
Going on a honeymoon with your wife is an exciting time, but it’s also a learning experience. We had a great time during our first honeymoon, but there were definitely some things we wished we had done differently.
One of the first things we wished we had done differently was to plan ahead. We didn’t really have a plan or an agenda before going away and ended up not making the most of the time away. We would have been better off if we had done some research on activities and restaurants in the area beforehand so that we could have maximized our time away together.
Another thing we wished we had done differently was to take more pictures. We took some photos, but only after our trip was over did we realize how nice it would have been to have more memories from our honeymoon. Taking pictures of every special moment would have been a great way to capture the memories and make them last forever.
We also wished we had taken more time for ourselves during our honeymoon. We spent too much time trying to do things together and not enough time taking breaks and relaxing. Taking some personal time during a honeymoon can be really beneficial, especially when it’s your first one together.
Lastly, we wished we had been more adventurous. We were a bit too hesitant to try something new or go off the beaten path and instead stuck to doing more traditional honeymoon activities. Trying something new is a great way to make the most of your honeymoon, so we should have taken more risks and stepped out of our comfort zone!
Overall, our first honeymoon was a wonderful experience, but looking back, there are definitely some things we wish we had done differently. With more planning and preparation, along with a bit of adventure and personal time, future honeymoons will be even better!
