at work today i said ... 'we are going to need to make friends on our honeymoon so we dont get sick of eachother' haha ... everyone freaked out and they were like 'well thats the point of marriage ... to be with eachother!' but seriously when your married you are never with eachother and just eachother 24/7 for 12 days!!! i just meant that after 12 days of hanging out with FH, whom i love love love, i feel like i will want to have contact with some other human besides each other haha ... how do you feel about this?

Re: dont you want to meet people on your honeymoon?
Eh ... FH and I are anti-social and don't make friends on trips. Of course, we'll be traveling around Europe so really won't be in one place too long, so I don't think it's an issue for us. But everyone is different and everyone travels differently - so if you guys are into making friends when you're away I don't see what's wrong with it! It's YOUR honeymoon, right???

All I have to say is be careful when you make friends when you are away... FH and I went ot the bahamas and we made friends with another couple that was staying at our hotel and they turned out to be so negative and complained about everything and for the rest of our vacation we had to hide from them!!!!

haha true. ... i just feel like what do FH and i talk about now? well work, wedding, family, things that happen during the day ect....but now its like ok your with eachother all day everyday ... sooo you talk about what you did together? haha i guess IM TOTALLY OVER THINKING IT ... FH and i have never gone on vacation together ... soooo im totally excited. but i am a very friendly person. heck i talk to random people everyday in walmart, or pathmark, or cvs ... you name it ... ive met people haha soooo i think it would be fun to met another couple to hang out with.

Re: dont you want to meet people on your honeymoon?
One of the nicest things FH ever said to me was that he loves watching the way I interact with others.
We're going to France and I definitely plan on making friends everywhere we go! FH doesn't speak any French, but I think he's going to get a kick out of my talking with people everywhere! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think there's anything wrong with making friends when you're on a trip together, even your honeymoon. It's not like you're going to let them direct you two around on your HM. You'll still have YOUR trip -- it'll just be peppered with fun new people too!

Re: dont you want to meet people on your honeymoon?
The people who freaked out and thought you were crazy obviously are living in a perfect world... Yes, after 12 days on my HM, i am sure i too will be sick of being around FH 24/7.... its natural IMO... you need other things besides each other... hobbies, work, friend, etc
I think its great to meet others while on vacation.. more to conversate about... could even have a better time going out on excursions as a group...
PS: as soon as i come back from my HM, i'm going away with my fam for a week... fh cant come bc he has no more time off from work... i have no problem being away from him after that point and have even joked about it to others- who have laughed with me.. not looked at me like i had 10 heads...

FH and I are going to be bouncing around so much, that I doubt we'll be able to make 'friends.' However, when we go to see The Price Is Right in LA and I get on Contestants Row, you better BELIEVE that I'm making friends with Drew Carey.

I do! We will be going to an all-inclusive resort and hope to meet other couples. We don't want to spend every minute with other people, but definitely would be nice to meet some couples to enjoy drinks with at night or have dinner with once or twice.

No, i have absolutely no desire to make friends on my honeymoon. I'm not opposed to maybe chatting with some people at a bar, but whatever time we're are not on the beach, I intend to make good use of the room

Re: dont you want to meet people on your honeymoon?
We def. want to meet people on our honeymoon... why not? I think its a good idea. We are going on a cruise and got a table for 2 and then changed it to a larger table so that we can mingle and meet other people. Its not like you are going to meet people and party with them without your FH on your honeymoon. You will both still be together, but will also have the choice whether to do something romatic and just the 2 of you, orrrrrr go to the bar and have shots with your new friends

Re: dont you want to meet people on your honeymoon?
I think meeting people is fine!! my FH is very social and will make friends with anyone! a few years back we went on a cruise and met a couple on their honeymoon! We got along with them SOOOO good! we did our own thing during the day and then met them at night! it was a great!! we still talk to this day!

me and FH are totally into meeting people. that's fun to us. i hope we come away with some really cool australian penpals!! i don't think that the point of marriage is to just sit and look at each other and only talk to each other ... SNORE! lol

Re: dont you want to meet people on your honeymoon?
DH and I made a few new friends on our honeymoon. We hung out by ourselves during the day and then at night, we had a great dinner with our table mates and then we'd all see the show after dinner or go hang out at one of the bars (we were on a cruise).
It was nice but then we wound up hanging out with them EVERY night so I never got any romantic evenings to ourselves and that was really disappointing. I don't feel like I got a honeymoon, just a vacation. But as long as it's what you both want, I say making new friends is great!

Re: dont you want to meet people on your honeymoon?
We will chit-chat with others on a daily basis, but I can't say either one of us is looking to hook up with another couple on the HM. I think we are a little more on the quiet side with others - dunno if that's a bad thing, it's just our personalities. So I'd say, to each his/her own. I don't think there is anything wrong with it if that is what you want to do.

Re: dont you want to meet people on your honeymoon?
Of course it's ok to make friends on your HM. FH and I went to Hawaii for 16 days last year. That's right - 16 days with each other for company. He played golf a couple of days and I sat on the beach or by the pool and read or went and had spa treatments. We met some other couples and met up for drinks a couple of nights. It was a lot of fun and it was nice having other people to talk to.
People are shocked when I tell that that FH already has 3 rounds of golf booked for the HM. He likes to golf - I don't. Why wouldn't he play for the morning and let me do my own thing?
Bottom line - it's YOUR HM - do what feels right to you and FH.
