Honeymoon origins

In the 20th and today, the 21st century, a honeymoon is the period of time right after a couple becomes married in which they take a vacation to completely focus on their new marriage. It's a time to celebrate just the two of you.
Years ago though, In some traditions, newly wed couples were fed dishes and beverages that featured honey for the first month of their married life to encourage love and fertility. The surviving vestige of this tradition lives on in the name given to the holiday immediately after the ceremony: The Honeymoon.
Ancient Pagans celebrated the solstice with bonfires where pairs of lovers would jump through the flames for good luck. They called the midsummer moon the "Honey Moon," using honey in wedding ceremonies in June. They also wore garlands of herbs and flowers to ward away evil spirits because they believe it was a magical time.
Donna Henes, an Urban Shaman, multicultural ritual expert and author of Celestially Auspicious Occasions: Seasons, Cycles and Celebrations, says, "In ancient times, when we didn't have light and heat indoors or stores where we could buy food, winter was a bare, cold and very hard time," Henes says. "If your baby was born in the beginning of winter, it had a much less chance of survival. It became a tradition to have mating season around the solstice so your child would be born in early spring instead. This is where the June wedding legacy comes from."
