wedded bliss
Honeymoon phase extended
Wedded bliss is the happiness supposedly found in marriage, often used with a touch of irony or skepticism: The couple embarked on a lifetime of wedded bliss.
The phrase appears frequently in toasts and wedding announcements, though its earnestness makes it ripe for sarcasm when marriages prove less than blissful.
