Did you know that mead is how the term "honeymoon" came to be?

On this Valentine's Day, here's a fun fact in celebration of Love.


Punch 4 - Manoa Honey & Mead

Once believed to be an aphrodisiac, newlyweds would spend one full moon cycle after their union indulging in mead - a beverage made from fermented honey.


Couples would drink and rejoice, attributing their fertility and good fortunes to this sweet elixir. This period became known as the “honeymoon”.



Today, we celebrate this old tradition by capturing that bliss with our modern mead, a bright and effervescent reminder of the pleasure we know as Love.

So, grab a bottle and pour a glass for you and your loved one. Bring back the thrill of the honeymoon phase and cheers together with mead... the origin of honeymoon.


Wishing everyone a day filled with Love.

What a fascinating historical detail! It’s amazing how traditions like sharing mead during the first moon cycle helped shape the very idea of a “honeymoon.” These rituals show that weddings have always been about symbolism, connection, and creating intentional moments that mark the beginning of a new chapter.

Even today, while styles and trends evolve, the heart of a wedding remains the same — preserving meaningful memories that last far beyond the celebration itself. For photographers capturing these once-in-a-lifetime milestones, visibility matters just as much as creativity. Investing in SEO for photographers can help talented professionals reach the right couples, grow sustainably, and ensure their work is discovered by those who truly value it.

Because timeless love stories deserve both beautiful…

Great interview, but if I'm being honest felt more like 'why I'm still a Calvinist' than 'Christian'. I respect that Kristen's faith tradition is important to her, and she can obviously share to the level she feels comfortable with and no more, but this was a very intellectual conversation. I'd have appreciated hearing more about Kristen's personal faith in Jesus Himself and why that is not shaken despite the attacks she's endured.  Bjj Gi
