The term comes from honey month. The first month of marriage is often the sweetest , at least to the cynics who coined the phrase.
My son, Ben, an amateur beer maker, told me the answer to this at my daughters wedding. The Nordic tradition in a marraige was to give the new couple a quantity of mead enough to last them a full lunar cycle or a "MOON" Mead is an drink brewed by the fermentation of HONEY. The term "HONEYMOON" comes from this tradition. Ben Brewed a fantastic Peach Mead for his sister.
