如果說(shuō)婚禮是一對(duì)新人接受眾人祝福的儀式，那么蜜月就是這對(duì)新人攜手開(kāi)始婚姻旅程的起點(diǎn)。在中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化中并沒(méi)有“蜜月”一說(shuō)，隨著中國(guó)和國(guó)際接軌的步伐越來(lái)越快，中外文化交流越來(lái)越頻繁，不少年輕人也效仿外國(guó)新婚夫婦，給自己的婚姻生活策劃一個(gè)甜蜜的“蜜月旅行”。

文化背景：
In many parts of Europe it was traditional to supply a newly married couple with enough mead for a month, ensuring happiness and fertility. From this practice we get honeymoon or, as the French say, lune de miel （"moon of honey"）.

在歐洲傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗中，新婚夫婦婚后的三十天內(nèi)，或直到月缺時(shí)，每天都要喝由蜂蜜發(fā)酵制成的飲料，以增進(jìn)生活的和諧。古時(shí)候，蜂蜜是生命、健康、和生育能力的象征。“蜜月”是新婚夫婦在恢復(fù)日常生活前，單獨(dú)相處的甜蜜時(shí)光。
