The Honeymoon
How would you like to have your honeymoon at your parent’s house? To someone looking in from the outside, it sounds rather off-putting. However, tradition is deeply rooted in Amish communities, and this is one of those traditions. The honeymoon will start at the bride’s parents’ house. Then, the next morning, the bride and groom will clean the parents’ house as a way to say thanks.

The Honeymoon Continues
Amish honeymoons have several different parts to them which are spread out over different places. After spending the first night at the bride’s parents’ house, the couple will pack up and go to the next house, visiting all their relatives as husband and wife. If the married couple has no house yet, they will live at the bride’s parent’s house until they can have their own.
