Immediately following our 22 Dec wedding - we went on a Christmas house party at a country house hotel just outside Aberystwyth in Wales for 4 days.
However we regard our true honeymoon as the week long cookery course I won through the (now defunct) Harrods Gourmet Club! It was in Santa Fe and the journey there from London was an adventure in itself.... Club class flights from London to Houston, followed by an internal flight to Albuquerque, then a short hop on Mesa Airlines up to Santa Fe. We stayed in the Eldorado hotel, and did a lot of sightseeing as well as learning the art of Southwestern cookery......
A fantastic week away, and an experience to talk about as it was very different from a traditional honeymoon.

1st marriage - none. Students with 2 kids with neither time nor money. Still had a great time.
2nd marriage: Proposed at Conrad Koh Samui during a long-planned Thailand trip. Honeymoon - Australia next year. Not really a honeymoon trip as this is also planned for a long time.

Stepfel

We had 3 weeks in America, split between 2 and a half weeks in San Francisco and finishing in Vegas.
We were 22 + 23.
We visit Grassington very regularly and I couldn't think of a more beautiful part of the world to honeymoon in!
I might be biased though as it is only an hour away from me in the N.E England.

San Diego. I was 23 and she was 22, and we still had one semester left in our undergrad studies. I picked it purely because the flight was cheap (this was well before I knew about Flyertalk - I'm sure if I was more savvy I would have found something better). No rental car and our hotel was like $45 a night, and every day was wonderful......

Wasn't too long out of college at the time. Went to Disney World and then to Cocoa Beach.
I used my Southwest Rapid Rewards for the flights, which at the time were still accrued with stamps on a paper card, which I believe I had to either mail in or take to a WN ticket counter (this was circa 1996) to redeem. I had racked up all the RR credits flying back and forth to see my future wife during college.
We stayed at Holiday Inns...don't know if they had a loyalty program then but if they did, I was too clueless to have joined it! At least I had enough sense to join Rapid Rewards
