honeymoon

A honeymoon is a special trip that newlyweds take after their wedding. It's usually romantic and a chance for them to spend quality time together.

The word "honeymoon" can also refer to the early months or year of marriage, when things are still new and exciting. Many couples use this term to describe how they're adjusting to being married and learning about each other. A couple might say, "We're still in our honeymoon phase," meaning that everything feels fresh and wonderful, but it's also a bit surreal. This usage is often used jokingly or in a lighthearted way, implying that things will eventually settle down and become more routine.
