CLEARWATER, Fla., April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2023, Honeyfund, the free gift registry that makes dream honeymoons happen for all couples, played a vital role in Ahmad Maksoud and Josef Perou's happily-ever-after. In lieu of a traditional wedding registry, the couple leveraged Honeyfund's platform to fund Perou's immigration and relocation fees, as covered in The New York Times last year. Today, the couple is married and Perou's immigration fees are covered, but a honeymoon was still out of reach.

  • Today, the couple is married and Perou's immigration fees are covered, but a honeymoon was still out of reach.

  • We're so grateful Alila Napa Valley wanted to work with us to make their dream honeymoon happen."
  • According to recent Honeyfund data, couples who take a honeymoon are more likely to experience a happier marriage than couples who do not.
