PLANNING THE
WEDDING JOURNEY
The last Vera on the Why, Where
and What .of the wedding journey he-
longs to the bride And groom, Ideas
of what to do on the trip vary widely,
and you should make your pians to-
gather, so that they will not be un-
waloome 'to. either of you. That la
usually an easy decision because you
have many teethe in common, and
each is anxious to give the other his
Wish. There is no need, however, for
one to sacrifice a preference to the
other; you can work out some ar-
rangement that means pleasure for
both,
Shall we make it an entertaining
busy time? Shall we visit our rola-
tives? Shall we take a long time in
the quiet of the mountains, or by the
'sea? Those are some of the questions
that bride and groom ponder as they
stand at the entrance to the honey-
moon.
Some general considerations may
help you to make a specific answer.
Do not allow yourself to be urged by
some interested adviser to do what
you would rather not do. Of course
your grandmother will want you to
visit her at her country home, and
"his" relatives may be anxious to
show you the high lights of Toronto.
The honeymoon, however, is a period
of adjustment, of a growing acquain-
tance between two persons who need
to work out the new relationship with
care, and if possible with a great deal
of privacy. Moreover, it is a tkne of
relaxation after the hurry and work
and fuss of getting ready for a wed-
ding. It is a vacation, and should not
be made exacting.
Then too you will be unwise to try
to stretch your money so as to cover
an expensive trip. If you choose to go
to a hotel at a fashionable summer re-
sort, when you only can afford the
expense of a cottage at the beach, you
will have to make sacrifices later to
cover the first ill-considered expendi-
ture. Moreover, to put on an appear-
ance of prosperity that you must drop
later makes you feel uneasy and
makes it hard for you to be genuine
even with each other.
The honeymoon is a thing not only
