This morning I went to a resort at Damai Laut to visit my ex-student, Ramona, who was staying there for the night after performing at the Jom Heboh in Lumut. The place is lovely and would be suitable for holidaymakers who want to be away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Newlyweds should try booking into this resort for their honeymoon.
By the way have you ever wondered why we call the period immediately after marriage as honeymoon. Is it because things are extra sweet for the new couple?
Actually that is not how the word originated. There is a history to it and it started from the time of the early Scandinavians. According to tradition, the wedding couple was compelled to drink a fermented honeyed beverage for about a month after the wedding—from the time of one full moon until the next—for fertility and luck. This month of drinking and festivity was dubbed the “honeymoon.”
