honey moon

Post-wedding romantic trip

A honeymoon is a vacation taken by newlyweds immediately after their wedding, traditionally a romantic trip to celebrate the marriage: They honeymooned in Hawaii.

By extension, a honeymoon period is any early phase of harmony before difficulties emerge: The new president's honeymoon with Congress didn't last long.

Usually spelled as one word: honeymoon.
