By Lesley-Ann
Everyone has a picture in their minds of the dream honeymoon after your perfect wedding. Maybe it's backpacking through Europe and visiting fairytale castles; maybe it's going to a pampering resort and focusing on each other.

You can identify the best honeymoon for you and your new spouse if you ask yourself the following questions...

This is called a destination wedding. If you wanted a big wedding, you will have to scale back a lot to do this, but on the other hand, how wonderful to share your honeymoon with the people you love best in the world! For older couples, sometimes a destination wedding, without tons of guests but with lots of time to focus on one another, is ideal.

This is both a budget and a personal preference question. A honeymoon isn't about visiting exotic locations around the world; it's about spending time on the two of you. There are wonderful places you've never seen within two hundred miles of your home if you just think about it. If this is what the decision comes down to, opt for a longer honeymoon close to home as opposed to a short one far away. Give yourselves the gifts of one another.

Save or splurge – should we go into debt for our honeymoon?
