St Lucia - lovely people, but we were quite upset to see the poverty in the areas away from the ' touristy ' bit - enjoyed the 2wks but it did make us think about our priorities in life!!

First one was The Black Forest in Germany but only because he had combined it with a metallurgists conference and therefore it was free! I spent all week on the wives tour and when I asked if we could spend just one evening together instead of with all his colleagues he replied 'well the honeymoon's over and they are my mates'. Second one was a very wet three days in the Cotswolds spent in a couple of rather interesting hotels, one of which was run by a woman who had a mountain of personal problems and proceeded to regale us with all of them for hours and hours. Actually they were horrific problems but not what we wanted to be dealing with on our honeymoon. Now for my third one...........................ssssh don't tell hubby! lol Daisy

A lovely little place called Hearthstone Edge lol! Jen

We went for a week in Skiathos. It was lovely!! Carol

First marriage - didnt have one. Instead we blew 400 squid on a new BSA motorbike. A lot of money back in the late 60s. Second marriage - didnt have one as we had already been living together for a few years and it seemed a bit pointless. But on our wedding night, I slept on the sofa and hubby slept on a camp bed - mother-in-law was drunk and passed out in our bed! lol

We're getting married next year and 'island hopping' around the South Pacific. AL

!st marriage, couldn't afford one. 2nd marriage, had 3 kids, so we took them along for a week at Pontins. That was 20yrs ago. They're all grown up now, and as we've just sold a piece of land, next year we're gonna have a mega luxury belated honeymoon! Just got the brochures now....

Priory Hotel, near Seaveiw, Isle of Wight. Wonderful hotel set in own grounds and private bay. Viv

Torquay for two weeks in 1957. was lovely weather all the time & YES we did get out and about LOL

Orlando, Florida. Was meant to be Orlando, Florida, then on to New York, but that didn't happen because of 9/11 (first day of our honeymoon !). It was a fairly crap 2 weeks to be honest. The honeymoon was ORIGINALLY going to be Maldives/Sri Lanka, but we had to rearrange (thats a whole other story lol)

we both worked in travel so got some good deals! spent our wedding night in the Waldorf Hotel in the Strand, then we went to Curacao in the Netherland Antilles (Caribbean, near Venezuela). It was v nice apart from ex being ill for a couple of days (shame!!). Particularly enjoyed the curry goat mmmmmmmm !! Maz. XX

My honeymoon night was at The Vineyard in Stockcross..... pure luxury!! 10 days later we went to Taba in Egypt, it wasn't perfect but it will always be something I remember even if I am now divorced!! xx

Travelling up to to Newcastle and back for a second mini reception with the evil inlaws, OH says he has taken me to lots of lovely places since then but i still feel a bit cheated, His first wife got taken to I-O-W.

1st time, Boscombe in Bournmouth in a hotel on the seafront called the undercliffe hotel, (the bridal suite) had a double bed and a single bed in the room, I've yet to work out why, next time who knows !!!!

Took train down to London ( in the Sixties.. evening dinner with silver service!!!) Then a week in Plymouth stayed on Hoe, and posh hotel, but when we visited again in the eighties not so posh lol should'nt go 'back' most places are never the same,are they? Mau x;0) Been married 44 years now,lots of honeymoons since! lolol

in a hotel and i flooded the reception with the water from the jaccuzi lol.

For our Honeymoon we moved into an Army quarter and I had one days leave :-(((( . When I left the Army I gave her indoors a belated Honeymoon we did a week Florida and a week Jamica Twizzle :-))))))

A weekend in Weymouth, one of our favourite places. Heather x

Gwynne Well it was....interesting. ( and dry) Only now, many years later has it become apparent just how significant the area was for my ancestors. ...... no paste factory workers though. Gwyn

Thanks, Gwyn. I'm sure you had a wonderful time. *smiles and nods* Gwynne
