Honeymoon History - History of Honeymoon
Early history of honeymoon is in when
a man is newly wed, he need not go out
on a military expedition, nor shall
any public duty be imposed on him. He
shall be exempt for one year for the
sake of his family, to bring joy to
the wife he has married.
Meaning of Honeymoon
As Honey is good for sex and
the meaning of moon is the circle
of moon which is a month ensuring happiness
and fertility.
In Western culture, the custom of a
newlywed couple going on a holiday together
originated in early 19th century Great
Britain, a concept borrowed from the
Indian
elite, in the Indian
Subcontinent. Upper-class
couples would take a "bridal tour",
sometimes accompanied by friends or
family, to visit relatives who had not
been able to attend the wedding. The
practice soon spread to the European
continent and was known as voyage à
la façon anglaise (English-style voyage)
in France from the 1820s on.
Honeymoon in the modern sense (i.e.
a pure holiday voyage undertaken by
the married couple) is one of the first
instances of modern mass tourism. This
came about in spite of initial disapproval
by contemporary medical opinion (which
worried about women's frail health)
and by savoir vivre guidebooks (which
deplored the public attention drawn
to what was assumed to be the wife's
sexual initiation). Typically honeymoons
would start on the night they were married,
with the couple leaving midway through
the reception to catch a late train
or ship. However, in the 21st century,
many couples will not leave until 1–3
days after the ceremony and reception
in order to tie up loose ends with the
reception venue and/or visit with guests
from the reception.
One of the more recent citations
in the Oxford English Dictionary indicates
that, while today honeymoon has a positive
meaning, the word was originally a reference
to the inevitable waning of love like
a phase of the moon.
In many parts of Europe it was traditional
to supply a newly married couple with
enough mead for a month, ensuring happiness
and fertility. From this practice we
get honeymoon or, as the French say,
lune de miel ("moon of honey")
