honeymoon
Post-wedding trip
A honeymoon is the vacation newlyweds take immediately after their wedding, traditionally a romantic getaway: They honeymooned in Hawaii.
The term extends to any initial period of harmony before difficulties emerge: The new president's honeymoon with Congress didn't last long.
The honeymoon phase suggests early, unsustainable bliss.
