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
