We are on a disagreement about this. I want to go right after we get married and he wants to wait 'till a couple of months later so we can have a longer vacation.

You should do it right away...the magic might just fade otherwise.

There are Pros and Cons both ways. Here's how I see it.
Going now:
Pros- it's romantic to be swept away right after the wedding to your honeymoon, the magic is still floating around after the wedding.
Cons- You may not get to spend as much time, you may have to settle for less, you are going to be tired from the wedding.
Going several months later:
Pros- you can save more money and have a bigger honeymoon. You have time to settle into your new place. You will be well rested and might have more fun.
Cons- The fairy dust that was sprinkled over the wedding will have settled. You can't be "whisked away" after a wonderful day of celebration.
Discuss the pros and cons with your fiance with an open mind. Tell him why you want to go right away and why it is important. There is something to be said for being whisked away in the flurry of the moment, but there is also something to be said for being able to have a longer vacation together. My parents had their honeymoon right after the wedding and only got the 4 days it took to drive back to school. They made it work, but it might have been more fun in a few months to take a real vacation.
Best of luck and congratulations on your wedding! I wish you a lifetime of happiness together. Just remember, the wedding doesn't matter, it's the marriage that counts.

Maybe you could just go to a fancy hotel for the right after honeymoon for a night or two and then go on a nice long vacation honeymoon later. Then you both can win. It really would be nice for both of you to get a big vacation a few months in. Kind of a second honeymoon fling.

It really depends on you but I personally am trying to book it as close to the wedding as possible. It's more fun and exciting to have your wedding then go off on your honeymoon. Most people have a couple days inbetween but not normally a months...
Perhaps he is afraid you guys can't afford it and it also depends on where you want to go... and weather permitting.... We are getting married in Nov and we want to go to ireland but Ireland in the winter is a little rough so we are actually looking at other places or going at a later date as well. Best way to do it is sit down and but it all on paper why you should go right away and why you shouldn't and work through all the details about what you are doing!! Also it doesn't hurt to meet with a Traval agent now to get suggestion and price ranges!!
Good Luck!!

Dear, don't argue about this stupid thing- it's not important, believe me, I know. I had to cancel my wedding a few days before the ceremony (it happened a month ago) because my boyfriend acted horribly and broke my heart. Believe me, if you found someone who loves you and treat you nice don't bother with these small things- honeymoon lasts very short, the most important thing is that you 2 get along. Even if you don't go on the honeymoon at all, you still have each other. Just be happy...

I think that depends on what you want to do. Think about it this way...you could take a night for your "honeymoon night" and then take a longer vacation later and have that as your actual honeymoon. You will enjoy the LONGER one better then a short one right away.

NO! Honeymoons are the best holidays you will ever have, its a great way to end off all the wedding stress and have some quality time with your man. If you wait, it might never happen, you know how things get put off, and by then the excitement will have welted.... Enjoy!

If you can afford it, go right away. If you wait, it will probably feel like just another vacation, nothing special. However, if it's going to turn into a fight, find a compromise. With a wedding coming up you'll have lots of other things to disagree about :)

It's up to you, but then you have nothing to look back on when you look back on the memories. That is like celebrrating your fiftieth birthday when you are fifty one.
