TRIVIA BITS … HONEYMOON

TRIVIA BITS …

HONEYMOON

honeymoon.1

It was the accepted practice in Babylon 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 wine and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.
