quotations about honeymoons
Weddings aren't about you. But honeymoons are.

Our honeymoon will shine our life long: its beams will only fade over your grave or mine.
CHARLOTTE BRONTË
Jane Eyre
A honeymoon is like a blue lagoon; divinely beautiful, with a mimicry of all heaven in its deeps, blinding sweet in the sun, and almost intolerably comfortable in the moon. But by and by the atoll that circles it like a wedding-ring proves to be a bit narrow and interferes with the view of the big sea pounding at its outer edges. The calm becomes monotonous, and at the least puff of wind the boat is on the reefs. They are coral reefs, but they cut like knives and hurt the worse for being jewelry.

The idea of the nebulous honeymoon phase is what you make it. We left on our honeymoon a month and a half after our wedding because attending a metal festival right after the nuptials felt far more important to us at the time. In truth, we began our marriage ankle-deep in mud, bruised, and happily suffering from mild tinnitus. The sun-drenched honeymoon was just the cake topper on an otherwise pretty sweet reality.

A honeymoon is a short period of doting between dating and debting.
RAY BANDY
Little Giant Encyclopedia of Wedding Toasts
The married couple who intend to love each other during their whole life have no notion of a honeymoon; for them it has no existence, or rather its existence is perennial; they are like the immortals who do not understand death.
HONORÉ DE BALZAC
Physiology of Marriage
A honeymoon is like opening a brand-new set of Legos. When a child gets Legos, he certainly doesn't expect to find the finished model in the box. The whole point of Legos is to build.

Here's the thing: Honeymoons are intended to help start off your marriage on the right foot. Wading in pools of Champagne and getting lost in each other's eyes, you start to feel invincible, ready to take on the world as a couple. But when the highs are so high, the lows have a way of feeling even lower.

We are sitting on our honeymoon bed in the honeymoon suite. We are in a state of honeymoon, in our honey month. These words are so sweet: honey, moon. This bed is so big, we could live on it. We have been happily marooned -- honey marooned -- on this bed for days.

I do want an expensive honeymoon. Not because I'm extravagant, but because a honeymoon is a solemn, important thing ... a symbol. And it ought to be done -- well, adequately.

Short honeymoons are better than no honeymoons, but long honeymoons are best of all.
