Honeymoons are just regular holidays other than the fact they take place after your wedding, right? Wrong!<\/strong> We’re talking about a\u00a0very<\/em> special holiday, and what you do and don’t pack is integral to your overall honeymoon experience<\/a>. So, since there’s already an abundance of articles detailing what to bring, here’s what NOT<\/strong> to bring to your honeymoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Romance novels<\/h2>\n

Leave your copy of Fifty Shades of Grey behind. Sure, reading on holiday is relaxing and a usual holiday activity, but you enter a whole new realm of sad when you’d rather engage in a fictional romance than your own. Don’t neglect your real-life romance<\/a> \u2014 especially not for poorly written mummy-erotica.<\/p>\n

The best man or maid of honour<\/h2>\n

Is this a friends\u00a0holiday away or a honeymoon<\/em>? You’ll have plenty of time to catch up with friends when you return, but this time is about you as a couple. A singular couple. Only you two. \u00a0Leave your friends behind \u2014 they’ll still be there when you get back.<\/p>\n

Thoughts about your ex<\/h2>\n

Okay, so you shouldn’t be thinking about your ex anyway if you’re freshly married to someone else. But honestly<\/strong><\/em>, nothing kills the honeymoon atmosphere faster\u00a0than a flashback about an old flame.<\/p>\n

Your parents<\/h2>\n

Having your parents on your honeymoon is an instant kill-switch to romance. Sure, it makes for a lovely family holiday \u2014 but this is a honeymoon. Why you would bring your parents on your honeymoon is beyond me.<\/p>\n

Work<\/h2>\n

If you can’t possibly leave your laptop at home, at least refrain from logging into your work email. The earth\u00a0WILL continue turning on its axis without your help for a couple of weeks. Putting work (or anything really) before your new marriage<\/a> on your honeymoon is only a red flag for future relationship issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n
