Legends of the Honeymoon

Legend 1:
In ancient times, many of the first marriages were by capture, not choice.  When early man felt it was time to take a bride, he would often carry off an unwilling woman to a secret place where her relatives wouldn’t find them.  While the moon went through all its phases, (about 30 days) they hid from the searchers and drank a brew made from honey.  Hence, we get the word, honeymoon.
