Where should you go?

This page is designed to walk with you step-by-step as you plan a honeymoon that feels peaceful, joyful, and truly centered on your new life together.

What Makes an LDS Honeymoon Different?

Every honeymoon is special—but for Latter-day Saint couples, there’s often a deeper layer of intention.

Your honeymoon isn’t just about getting away.

It’s about:

• Beginning your eternal marriage
• Learning how to live, travel, and grow together
• Creating your first shared memories as a married couple
• Building habits that will bless your relationship long after the trip ends

That doesn’t mean it needs to be complicated or overly structured.

It simply means you can plan it with purpose.

A Gentle Reminder Before You Plan

It’s easy to feel pressure when it comes to honeymoons.

You might see beautiful photos, exotic destinations, or elaborate itineraries and think:

“Should ours look like that too?”

But here’s the truth:

Your honeymoon doesn’t need to impress anyone.

It just needs to feel like you.

Some of the most meaningful honeymoons are:

• Simple
• Peaceful
• Unhurried
• Focused on connection

Because at the end of the day, the destination isn’t the most important part.

You are.

Start Simple, Stay Intentional

As you begin planning, try this:

Instead of asking,
“Where should we go?”

Ask:

“What kind of beginning do we want to create together?”

Do you want rest?
Adventure?
Quiet time to talk and reflect?
Moments that bring you closer to the Lord and to each other?

Let those answers guide your decisions.
