Decide, groom, head over heels in love, where to spend your honeymoon week!

3/5/0

For example, one travel agency, as a participant in the TV project 'Honeymoon,' regularly gives happy couples a romantic weekend in Paris or a hot week in Egypt.

In addition to organizing wedding trips, serious travel agencies offer marriage ceremonies in various exotic locations, as well as a full range of additional services – from video filming and luxurious limousines to providing best men and strewing roads with roses and orchids. The unforgettable nature of the experience, by the way, depends little on money. You just need to approach this issue creatively: organizing a wedding in Italy or a romantic week in the Maldives will provide truly unforgettable impressions for this ritual.

Intellectual Romance

Actually, this combination is determined by the presence of cultural demands and the absence of big money. Such couples seek to get lost together in some famous corner of the world. A romantic trip is associated with places like Paris, Rome, and Venice. Indeed, according to statistics, the largest number of newlyweds from all over the world travel to these cities.

An interesting option – Prague, Krakow, and Riga. Close, intellectual, inexpensive (about $400). Gothic cathedrals, arches of bridges, narrow alleys, arches, spires, stone patterns of towers – the architecture of these cities is filled with poignant tenderness. Memory photos in vintage costumes, a violin song and a rose in a glass given to your beloved in some basement tavern. But you will have to create the 'wedding' spirit yourself – travel agencies offer nothing yet.

Paris, Rome, Venice – farther, more interesting, more expensive. Paris has long been called the city of lovers. Here, the luxury of expensive hotels and black limousines is not necessary, nor is a special program aimed at finding romance, because the whole city is saturated with it anyway. Walks along the Seine embankments, Montmartre and the Champs-Élysées, visits to the Louvre and the Moulin Rouge, kisses on the observation decks of the Eiffel Tower...

Venice is perhaps the only competitor of Paris in the fight for the title of the city of lovers. Venetian romance, as Italians believe, is more temperamental. Located on a hundred islands, supported by millions of piles and connected by many hundreds of bridges, Venice is the only city in the world built entirely on water. So $100 – and please, signor, a gondola ride with a beautiful signora is guaranteed.

Does your beloved love to read the society chronicle about weddings and travels of the powerful? Try to surprise her. Mexico's tourist center – Acapulco – is honored with attention by newlyweds from all over the world. Bill and Hillary Clinton, John and Jackie Kennedy spent their honeymoon here. The most luxurious, newly built hotel 'Mayan Palace' has allocated its most expensive wing specifically for receiving newlyweds from around the world. White sand, crystal clear water, luxurious palm trees and cacti not too inferior in size – what else is needed for happiness, except, of course, a loved one nearby?

Undoubtedly, the most 'skyscraper' wedding is in America. The center of the world gambling business, Las Vegas, is not only casinos and slot machines, but also wedding marches, lavish bridal processions. More than 100,000 couples get married here annually, and the ceremony can be performed at any time of day or night, and the laws of Nevada are surprisingly liberal. So get ready to fight for US visas and save up some money.

'I am Juliet, he is Romeo!'

Of course, all newlyweds will say that about themselves. But still, there will be a shadow of doubt about the truth of such a statement in the soul. Do you want to make sure that none of your envious girlfriends reproaches you for embellishing reality? Then – forward, follow us!

The world is beautiful. Many cities in the world enchant with architecture, traditions, and art, but only one of them is the birthplace of the most famous love story – Verona. Italians believe that by joining hearts in the homeland of Romeo and Juliet, you receive as a gift from the legendary lovers everything – both the fidelity of feelings and their intensity.

The Promessa d'Amore ceremony was invented in 1999 by Verona's Club di Giulietta. The uniqueness of this rite is that it takes place in Juliet's House – a 13th-century building with the coat of arms of the Capulet family. All participants of the ceremony – the couple themselves, guests, the master of ceremonies, musicians, and dancers – put on costumes of that time. To the sounds of live medieval music played on ancient instruments, they solemnly enter the grand hall. Here the master of ceremonies joins the hands of the young couple, they exchange words of love and rings, sign a special book, and receive a certificate sealed with red wax on behalf of the Order of Montague and Capulet. Then – flowers, ceremonial speeches and poems, champagne, 'Juliet's Kisses' pastries, a ride around the city in a vintage carriage...

Professional photographers will shoot a new version of the movie 'Romeo and Juliet' just for you, so that your grandchildren will wonder – does this story have a sad or happy ending. True, due to the uniqueness of the ceremony held in Juliet's House (which is a museum), its cost is quite high – $3,000-3,500 – and depends on the chosen set of services.

But the most thrilling moment of the ceremony is a simple kiss on that very balcony where Love once united Romeo and Juliet. At these moments, the veil of today's skeptical world tears, and you acutely feel the eternal meaning of what is happening...
