Real Life Honeymoon Travel Disasters that Nearly Ended New Marriages

These couples recounted their horrific travel stories that made their honeymoons a trip to forget. From lost airplane tickets to hotel disasters, these couples thought that their horrible honeymoons were sure signs that their marriages weren’t meant to last.

These couples couldn’t wait for their vacations to end so they could get a rest from all of the unlucky moments they experienced on their first trip as husband and wife.

Lucky Accident

I got married in Hawaii. My new wife and I were staying at a swanky resort.

Late one afternoon, my wife was getting out of the shower, and I was lying on the bed in my boxers after a long day at the beach, when out of nowhere I hear the front door opening up. I thought it was my wife, and she thought it was me, but in walks a couple with luggage and key card in their hand.

When the see me, they angrily demand to know what we are doing in their room…

Needless to say, we were upgraded to an ocean front suite for the rest of our stay due to the screw up at the front desk. We were also comped meals for the rest of our stay, and half our bill was also comped.

Worth it! Although we are lucky they didn’t catch us in a more compromising position.

Not Too Fast

My first marriage was back in 1987. We were both 20 and barely had enough money for food and rent — you know the drill. We went on a honeymoon to a resort location nearby in a hotel. They gave us a room right next to the door leading to the indoor pool area.

We checked into our room and I did the whole ‘carry her over the threshold’ thing. After that, we got busy pretty fast. Our clothes were piled on floor and we were doing our thing right there on the bed. Everything was amazing until I heard a noise behind us.

I looked toward the door and I saw a couple of families staring through our open door that I completely forgot to close.

As Good a Spot as Any

Did valet at a hotel in the south. Wasn’t necessarily a honeymoon hotspot as a resort, but for some people, they loved the thought of a wedding in Nashville, TN.

One day, a co-worker was walking the bride and her family into the hotel. Took them all the way to the top floor to the Presidential Suite. Out of all the rooms, this was obviously the best one.

As he is unloading their cart, he decides that the sprinkler on the wall is the best place to hang the wedding dress.

And the rest is history. Before long, the sprinklers went off and from the top floor a waterfall was raging into the lobby.

Miraculously, he kept his job through all of that.

Waiting Around

“Flight got delayed several times and we ended up spending the first night of the honeymoon sleeping on the airport floor with our beach towels as blankets.”
