What were the most popular places for newlyweds to spend their honeymoon in 2014? The Facebook Data Team put together lists of the top honeymoon destinations in and outside of the US based on Facebook check-ins and a graph of the median distance traveled by country.

Highlights from the findings:

While Las Vegas took the top spot overall, newlyweds from the US were much less likely to check into Las Vegas on Facebook than couples from outside the US.

19% of US honeymooners traveled internationally, but it was couples from South Korea who traveled the greatest distance to their honeymoon destinations, with a median trip of 4,000 miles away from home.

More than 100 couples checked into a place father than 12,000 miles away from home, almost exactly on the opposite side of the planet from where they started their journey. Couples living in Spain who traveled to New Zealand and Peruvians who traveled to Thailand made up a large proportion of this group.

Methodology:

Honeymoon check-in lists were based on couples on Facebook who both posted a marriage event in 2014 and checked into a location within two weeks of their self-identified marriage date. Check-ins within 20 miles of their home location were excluded.
