Ok how about the meaning of a honeymoon <sp> Since I am getting married
soon......... The history of it?
ok I'll end the suspence
It was the accepted practice in Babylonia 4,000 years ago that for a
month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law
with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer, and because
their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the "honey month"
- or what we know today as the "honeymoon."
Almar the studious as of late
