Weddings, Handafstings, Honeymoons
and Special Occasions...
Mead has long been associated with matrimonial rituals.
In medieval times, the bride and groom were given enough mead to last for one full moon (a lunar month). Mead was thought to have aphrodisiac qualities and was given to newlyweds to promote fertility and happiness in the marriage. This practice gave rise to the term 'honeymoon' .
Whilst the tradition of giving newlyweds enough mead to last a month has faded with time, wedding favours remain popular. They have been given to wedding guests in England since the 16th century. Originally they were either trinkets (love knots made of ribbon or lace) or sugar (an expensive and rare gift in those days).
