Actually if it does not it is not technically a honeymoon, That tradition began oddly enough with Native Americans. when a couple married they were excused from all work in the camp and all chores for one moon or one month they had their tipi or lodge away from the rest of the camp so they would have privacy. The grandmothers would come once a day and leave food for them along with a special drink made with honey. This would go on for the month after the wedding and when the honeymoon was over they would rejoin the camp and resume daily life

Certainly not. My wife and I took an anniversary cruise and were tablemates all week with a honeymoon couple. One that had already been married for six months. They had been separated because he was a Reservist called up for activity duty, and were finally able to take a honeymoon.
