Honeymoon

That wonderful holiday that a newly married couple take after their wedding day. When they can forget about seating plans, arguing aunts, and grumpy mother-in-laws.

But the origin of the phrase is a bit darker than we might think.

The honey part refers to sweetness; the moon to a (not long) period of time.

So the honeymoon was the short period after the wedding when everything between a married couple was sweet, and loving, and without arguments. The implication was that this wonderful time wouldn’t last.
