...longer comes in a box with a bow; instead, it's the gift of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure--from a guided hike through Costa Rica's Monteverde rain forest ($80) to a visit to a Kenyan Masai village to meet the chief ($50). According to Condé Nast Bridal Media, 10% of brides now register for honeymoons. Many do it because as Americans get married later in life, they are finding they already own the household items that the traditional registry was created for.
