Honeymoon Vacations!
Following the abduction, the groom would put
himself and his bride into hiding – the Honeymoon –
so that by the time the bride’s family found them, the
bride would already be pregnant.
After "kidnapping" his bride, the groom would take
her and go into hiding. By the time the bride's family tracked
them down them, the bride would probably already be pregnant!
A "bride price" would then be negotiated.
An earlier source is the early Jewish custom of the bride and
groom spending a week together alone immediately after the marriage
feast. The earliest reference to this practice is Jacob's marriages
to Leah and Rachel.

Vacations Hot Tips
A Honeymoon is more than a holiday.
1- Shop around for
the best Honeymoon vacation packages, which often include an upgraded
room, champagne and flowers on arrival, gifts and even a free
candlelit dinner. To be eligible you usually have to produce your
marriage certificate, so make sure its packed safely inside your
hand luggage.
Be demanding of your travel agent. Spell out your ideal honeymoon
vacation packages and see if they can come up with a trip to match
your dreams. If they don't seem very imaginative try somewhere
else.
2-
Don't be fooled by glossy brochure-speak, pictures are often of
the best rooms. Even a double bed is not guaranteed unless you
outline your requirements beforehand, preferably in writing.
3-
Just because this is a honeymoon vacation, don't imagine you have
to spend every waking minute together - it would be too much for
even the most love-struck couple! If your fiancé fancies
playing a game of golf or two, arrange it. A few hours apart will
make your time together even more fun.
4-
Everyone loves a honeymoon couple. Don't be shy especially when
making reservations with your travel agent, in hotels, restaurants
and on airplanes, you should be pleasantly surprised by the special
treatment you receive. A glass of champagne, a room upgrade, a
candle-lit dinner, a free gift or just extra special service. |
