No. Just NO. (Buddymoon)

Some things are just no-fly zones. The Buddymoon is top of this list.

I got married almost 24 years ago. We spent two weeks in Hawaii for our honeymoon, and it was pretty awesome.

That’s the backdrop.

Today, I was reading the WaPo, and I saw this headline:

Look, I don’t know who this Amber Ferguson is, I am sure she is a pleasant, even fun person. And I suspect she didn’t follow this advice.

But the article is about a new trend where couples take their “friends” with them on their Honeymoon.

Some couples, particularly those having destination weddings, are reimagining honeymoons. They reveal their postnuptial group escapades on Instagram and TikTok with photos and videos of group hikes, all-day murder-mystery games, road trips and other excursions.

The trend is part of evolving wedding traditions. Reception staples such as bouquet tosses, tiered wedding cakes and toasts are becoming less common. Buddymoons are another way couples are shaking up tradition because so many people now live and travel together before marriage.

No, oh hell no. What fresh hell is this?

I got nothin.
