HONEYMOON

The Honeymoon is the traditional holiday taken by newlyweds. It considered as the celebration of marriage involving intimacy, seclusion, romance and tenderness.
The first use of the word honeymoon dates back to the 16th century. The Merriam-Webster dictionary reports the etymology as from “the idea that the first month of marriage is the sweetest” (1546). The term is also said to come from the Norse word “hjunottsmanathr” which means “in hiding”. This came from the ancient Scandinavian practice where the groom would abduct their brides from local villages and keep them in hiding until they were pregnant or until the bride’s family stops searching.
