minimoon

Abbreviated newlywed getaway

A minimoon is a brief honeymoon, typically a short getaway taken immediately after a wedding when time or budget constraints prevent a longer trip: We're doing a minimoon in Napa, then a real honeymoon next year.

Couples often plan a minimoon as a placeholder, with an extended trip to follow later.

The term also refers to small asteroids temporarily captured by Earth's gravity.
