Right after a couple gets married, it is commonplace to have newlyweds’ friends, family, and loved ones ask, “So where’s the honeymoon?” As innocent as this question may seem, it tends to put pressure on couples to go on honeymoon immediately after their wedding, just because it is what society expects.
But the fact of the matter is that sometimes due to work commitments or other reasons, one or both individuals in the relationship may choose not to go on honeymoon immediately after they wed.
We love the fact that Bollywood actress, Priyanka Chopra, and her singer husband Nick Jonas, who are newlyweds, are not succumbing to pressure to go on honeymoon right away.
After the couple were spotted at a work event for dating app, Bumble, barely one week after getting married, due to Priyanka’s pre-scheduled contractual agreement with the brand, she revealed to ELLE:
“My work and Nick’s work are very important to us.”
She further revealed that she had committed to the Bumble event before she set her wedding date.
“My commitments matter to me a lot. My word is my bond. And we had decided to do this a long time ago before anyone was getting married and so I stuck to my commitment. But besides that it’s something I’m really excited about as well.”
To brides considering whether or not go on honeymoon right after their wedding, Priyanka advises:
“I would just tell brides out there, whatever your priority is, is right. It doesn’t matter if your priority is work, that’s right. If your priority is honeymoon, that’s right. If your priority is doing nothing, that’s right too. ’Cause as newlyweds, it’s really your turn. you get to do whatever you want. And with us, these are the choices we took that work for us.”
Speaking of unconventional choices that have worked for the couple, here are a few more:
- Priyanka is 36 years old, and Nick is 25. So there’s an 11-year age gap between them.
- She’s Indian and he’s American. An amazing blend of cultures
Wishing the pair a happy married life!
