Does anyone regret not having a honeymoon?

Maybe do a staycation? Find a nice hotel within a 3 hour driving distance, spend a few nights there, eat good food and spend quality time with each other. Sometimes being a tourist in your own city can be nice. Any museums you just always said you'll check out "later" or other attractions? Maybe pick a hotel with a nice pool so you can lounge around and read that book you haven't had the time for. The purpose of the honeymoon is to relax and spend some nice alone time with your new spouse. You can do that anywhere, but if you want a change of scenery, you don't necessarily have to go far.

To be honest I have bummed a bit because my husband and I did not have honeymoon after our wedding and since I’m now pregnant there doesn’t seem like there will be one in the future. When I do get sad about it I just think of all the amazing memories from my wedding and I think how much money we saved for the baby.

I am going to do everything in my power to have a honeymoon. A close friend was telling me they planned one, then canceled, said they would do a honeymoon on their one year, then had a child, said once the child was old enough they would go, now pregnant again.. you get it, I don't want to lose out on such an amazing trip with FH. Staycation could still be a honeymoon!!

I've had a few friends who planned their honeymoon for later and did a staycation or minimoon instead!! They didn't regret taking their honeymoon later on, but were all glad they still took a few days to recuperate from the wedding (and stress of planning) and to bask in the newlywed glow!

Is there somewhere really nice or relaxing in Australia that would be fun for a few days?? I'd still pamper yourselves a little even if you're saving the big honeymoon for later!

I know quite a few people who did a smaller honeymoon or staycation after their wedding and a bigger honeymoon like a year later. Maybe find somewhere close by that you can stay as others suggested? I personally would want to do something after the wedding with my new husband, so we opted to do a Disney/Universal vacation because we were like you and wanted to go on a cruise, but I'm just not comfortable with cruising yet. But if we didn't decide on that, we were going to drive somewhere about 4 hours away and just spend some time together.
