Honeymoon Compatibility Checklist
To find out if you have honeymoon compatibility, print 2 copies of this simple questionnaire... and take it separately. There are no right or wrong answers, just questions to help you define your idea of the perfect honeymoon — which may not be the same as your partner.
Compare notes after you finish, and if it turns out you don't have 100% compatibility (almost no one does!), be prepared to negotiate as you enter the planning stage.
