Newly married couples on vacation together to celebrate their wedding.
From 'honeymoon,' a term combining 'honey' (sweetness) and 'moon' (the lunar month). The phrase originated in 16th-century Europe to describe the first month of marriage, which was expected to be sweet before difficulties arose.
The word 'honeymoon' actually implies things get less sweet over time—the 'moon' represents how the sweetness wanes like a lunar cycle. People in the 1500s were hilariously honest about marriage!
