Rather than reply with an additional quotation, I thought instead to tease with a piece of ancient history:<BR/><BR/>The bride’s father supplied his son-in-law with all of the mead (beer made from honey) that he could drink for a month in Babylon some 4,000 years ago. Over time, this period became known as the “honey month”, which we know today as “honeymoon”.Timothy W Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118861693269565715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-30686791978751849642008-06-20T23:57:00.000-04:002008-06-20T23:57:00.000-04:00Hope you and Sam enjoy the wedding.
