What if the best wedding gift isn't a blender—it's a plane ticket? Sara Margulis, co-founder and CEO of Honeyfund, created her platform to fund her own honeymoon to Fiji, and it's now helped 1.6 million couples receive over $1 billion in wedding gifts. In this conversation, Sara shares how honeymoons are changing, why Gen Z is rewriting all the wedding rules, and what makes travel the ultimate relationship strengthener. We explore 2026 honeymoon trends (Japan just overtook Mexico!), why couples know their honeymoon destination before their wedding date, and how to make dream trips happen without the debt. If you've ever felt guilty asking for what you want or wondered how to fund that big adventure, this episode delivers the permission slip—and the strategy.
