Observation: most newlyweds are unbearable to watch, in the sense of "Get a room and stay in it until you get it out of your systems". It could be argued that the original purpose of the honeymoon is to spare their friends and family from having to experience this.

I'm not sure whether that means we should have seen more or that we shouldn't. Perhaps both.
