Did Ya Know ...

...bout Honeymoons?

In ancient Babylon, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead (fermented honey beverage) he could drink for a month after the wedding. Because their calendar was lunar or moon-based, this period of free mead was called the "honey month," or what we now call the "honeymoon." (Compliments of factsnfacts.com)
 
Here’s a secret...my husband doesn’t drink...BONUS for me!
And my dad made the wine for our wedding so I guess that we sorta-kinda followed this ancient Babylonian tid-bit el-facto!
We used an engagement picture and I found a local printer who would make custom wine labels.  They turned out better than I could have imagined and made it so personal for our special day. LOVE them!!

Cheers!
