Irish romantic traditions
What better place to mini-moon than the country that actually invented the honeymoon tradition back in ancient times, when it was known as the “month of honey”. It was used to describe the first lunar month after the couple was married and it was customary for family and friends to give the couple special goblets to toast each other with, and enough mead to last them through the first month of their marriage.
While today it might be considered a bit excessive to drink mead for a whole month, it is not considered excessive to choose romantic spots to celebrate your honeymoon. And what better place to honeymoon than the country that actually invented the tradition!
