The honeymoon was originally the period following marriage, "characterized by love and happiness", as attested since 1546.[4] The word may allude to "the idea that the first month of marriage is the sweetest".[5]
According to a different version, of the Oxford English Dictionary:
The first month after marriage, when there is nothing but tenderness and pleasure (Samuel Johnson); originally having no reference to the period of a month but comparing the mutual affection of newly married persons to the changing moon which is no sooner full than it begins to wane; now, usually, the holiday spent together by a newly married couple, before settling down at home. wrote by The Blogger
