My parents had a honeymoon, and I was conceived on it. But as Eastbourne in March didn't really appeal, they did the house up and waited till the weather was warmer

I know my grandparents went on honeymoon, but only as far as Midhurst from Guildford! It was in 1915 though, so not much scope during WW1.
My parents married in WW2 and they went away for a couple of weeks to Gloucerstershire, I think, then my father was posted to India. |

I may be wrong, but I think I read somewhere that many ceremonies took place in the church porch. There would be a simple exchange of vows and a ring. No choirs or organ-playing or special readings etc.
My own wedding was quite simple, in a register office with our parents and brothers & a girlfriend of one of the brothers. We walked to the office from our house, then to a restaurant for lunch. After tea and cake at ours, everyone left except my Mum. We drove her home, stayed overnight at her house and then went off to Gatwick to fly to our honeymoon, booked as a holiday before we decided to get married.

When I was first starting out I was told by an experienced researcher that marrying on Christmas Day was free (my ancestors married in 1817). I don't know when that changed.
