whr_ take thorn
By HEATHER McILWRAITH
When one considers a honeymoon trip,
thoughts of sunny skies, warm breezes
and sandy shores come to mind, but not
everyone has their heart set on a tropical
destination. Honeymoons are as diver-
sified as the people who take them.
According to Linda Goffar of Bauer
Travel in Seaforth, while there is still a
lot of interest in such places as Barbados,,
Hawaii, the Carribbean and Mexico,
couples in general seem to be opting for
less distant and less expensive honey-
moon destinations.
"The only real honeymoon spot is the
Pocono Mountains and it's extremely ex-
pensive," she said.
"People are just as happy to go to Nor-
thern Ontario. There are some very
beautiful resorts in Northern Ontario
which are very good for honeymoons if
you don't want to spend a lot of money.

You don't get heart -shaped beds and all
that, but you usually get a bottle of
champagne left in your room."
Mrs..Goffar added that couples plann-
ing honeymoons can basically get
anything they want provided they''re will-
ing toay for it. Resorts which cater
strictly+' to the honeymooners though are
more expensive on the average than
other resorts.
She suggested a couple's best source of
information would be the local travel
agency, adding they provide services free
of charge.
"We help couples decide on a destina-
tion that is within their price range — it
might not even be a location they
previously though of. And, they can have
all sorts of things, depending on their
budget. We can help with it all, whether
it be overnight hotel accomodation or a
complicated itinerary."
Ten wedding dos and don'ts
1. The bride should register only with one store of a kind.
2. The bride should quietly inform a relative about some larger expensive
items that she would love to have. )
3. No bride-to-be should allow the store at which she is registered to send out •
notices to her friends and wedding guest list that she is registered there.
4. It is improper to open gifts at the reception.
5. The bride should write a thank -you note as soon as she possibly can, but not
on cards that say "Thank You" on the top 'fold. When wives work full time,
husbands should share the task of writing thank -you notes.
6. Gifts from the immediate family of either the bride or the groom should
'never be returned to a store in exchange for something else, as feelings could
easily be hurt by such an action. (The exception to this, of course, is if there are
duplicate gifts. )
7. When an. engagement is broken or a wedding does not take place, the gifts,
especially gifts of great value, must be returned to all senders with brief and
tactful notes of explanation.
8. Both bride and groom give their attendants some lasting memento of the oc-
casion. While these gifts are often silver or gold, a gift of crystal, such as
Steuben, is an excellent idea.
9. The wedding party gives the, bride and groom some lasting memento of the
occasion, such as Steuben's Marriage Goblet, engraved with the couple's initials
and wedding date.
10. The .groom usually gives his bride a personal gift just before the wedding.
The bride in turn gives something to the groom. If one of the pair is far richer '
than the other, the one with the more money should "tone down" his or her pre-
sent. There will be plenty of time for lavish presents later.
