quotations about honeymoons
A honeymoon is like a musical comedy. Re-dressed at frequent intervals it will run for years. But usually all that happens is a change of principals, which is ridiculous.

"From the Hearth-rug", The Bystander, May 23, 1906
Despite the contentions of honeymoon debunkers, defenders of the sacred custom remain a great majority. They argue that the couples, while on distant honeymoons, are outside the influence of their parents and can begin to form faster the teamwork which will carry them through marriage. They also feel that newly-joined mates should enjoy a "little excitement" before they begin the steady routine of establishing a household. But give or take, the honeymoon decision must be made by the newly- weds, specifically, the groom, who pays the bill and is blamed for any shortcoming.
