Honeymoon, conceptionmoon, babymoon, recoverymoon, petmoon, anniversarymoon, familymoon, divorcemoon

That's the vacationmoon order and here's an article that discusses the cultural implication of all these moons. It's quite interesting:

"To be honest, some of it is tied to marketing by the travel industry, but it's also a reflection of how consumers are now looking at their life stages," says Howard Green, co-founder of MoonRings Inc., a Chicago-based travel firm that specializes in honeymoons and other "moons." The travel industry is leveraging people's emotional connections to the turning points in their lives, he says, "and creating products to help them celebrate those events."

The article doesn't go into too much more detail about culture, but they do give some examples. It's worth a read.
