honeymoons
Post-wedding vacations
Honeymoons is the plural of honeymoon—the vacation a newly married couple takes after their wedding: They're planning honeymoons in different seasons since they can't agree on a destination.
As a verb form, honeymoons describes the act of taking such a trip: The couple honeymoons in Italy every anniversary.
The figurative honeymoon period—an early phase of enthusiasm before difficulties emerge—also pluralizes: Political honeymoons rarely last more than a few months.
