A Honeymoon Without Your Spouse! Unimoons Are the Hot New Travel Trend!

Heard of the latest marriage fad doing the rounds on Instagram and raking up on the “popular things to do after marriage” chart? Nope, it’s not a new rock that’s being flaunted or a new designer dress flying off the shelves. It’s called Unimoon – a rather interesting alternative to the regular honeymoon! Piqued up your curiosity, did we? Let’s explore.

Earlier and now too, the trend has always been to splurge on supposedly the most important holiday of your life - honeymoon, to celebrate post-nuptials. Well, not anymore! With most newly-weds leading a hectic schedule where work tends to take precedence over personal lives, people are choosing to duck out of honeymoons and spend on solitary experiences in lieu. But then, what about the wedding vows of spending their lives together? Online dating experts argue that this rising phenomenon is here to stay and indicates the continued evolution of the marital institution and respect for individual space. “How,” you ask? Unimoons reflect the busy life syndrome when people are unable to synchronize life’s special events together and instead choose to stay free-spirited with a solo holiday.

An online article states that some couples cannot even decide basics of a honeymoon, like choosing the destination and are practically the harbingers of this new phenomenon of unimoons, also called solomoons. Additionally, studies have shown that people agree that they get more out of solo-travel than travelling with their respective partners. But do the experts agree? Researchers state that honeymoons have been known to set in motion three invaluable brain waves for a strong relationship – love, attachment and physical attraction, and people jeopardise their marriage if they don’t want to bring their wedded partners along with them to their own honeymoons.

So how do they make the marriage work in the first place? Add to it, the need to unwind from the wedding stress…

And, what about the netizens and their views? Twitter is full of people putting their foot down on the idea of unimoons! Users write: “Unimoon, Babymoon..it’s a vacation people!!!”, "Solomoon and unimoon are stupid cursed words, don't ever make them a thing,” and the list continues.

So what do you think? Are you on-board with this trend of “until honeymoons do us apart” or believe in the old-school model of honeymoon for two?

Either way, we’d be happy to be your booking partners!
