In India a honeymoon is the culmination of a long drawn wedding process. Among affluent families the process commences with the engagement of the bride and groom at a lavish function to herald the union of not just two individuals but two like-minded families. In a more lavish function bordering on opulence the two individuals tie the knot literally and exchange vows in the presence of a huge gathering that has assembled to shower blessings on the newly wedded couple. Soon after, the couple embarks on a journey popularly called as the honeymoon where the two can exchange vows in intimate privacy and discover each other to undertake the journey of married life.
