3. An interesting thing to know is that people in Babylon used to celebrate “beer month” instead of the regular “honey month” (a.k.a. honeymoon). The tradition was for the bride’s father to treat his son-in-law with beer every day after the first wedding month. The idea behind this? Well, it had to make the groom understand that he might change the beer, but never the wife!
