Some believe that the honeymoon originated as an ancient Babylonian practice that involved drinking mead, a honey-based alcoholic drink, for a lunar month after a marriage.
The first literary reference to the word honeymoon was in 1552 in Richard Huloet's 'Abecedarium Anglico Latinum'. It held that the word honeymoon was a sardonic reference to the inevitable waning of love like a phase of the moon.

I once heard that it goes back to the Egyptians who by tradition would give the newlyweds enough beer (from fermented honey) to last through the moon (about two weeks).
But I could be wrong.
