Someplace very relaxing. Weddings are very stressful, especially on brides. A nice relaxing stint in a resort with a spa for the Mrs.
Lets give Tony some great ideas. ?
Marfa!Someplace very relaxing. .
Hawaii. Yes, it's slightly cliche, but it's also by far the best.
I recommend 5 days on Maui, then 5 days on Kauai. It's pretty amazing...
Along those lines- cruises. You just need to get there. Everything else is handled by the people on the ship. Also resort type hotels.

Slightly cliche'!!!???
I think Hawaii is over hyped and over priced. The Caymans islands are just as nice and cheaper (airfare wise) with less people. I also like Belize a whole lot. Great country with really cool people and interesting stuff to see and do on land and on the sea.

You haven't met Leah. Hiking in the Grand Canyon would be quite relaxing for her.Grand Canyon means walking. Newlyweds don't want to walk. They want to sleep and "sleep."
Flying over the Grand Canyon is awesome, even with the restrictions. Page is a nice place to stay as you have all the stuff around Lake Powell to do and you can easily fly over to GCN if you want to see the south rim from the ground.
That's not my experience. Other than very few concentrated tourist areas, it's devoid of tourists. Then add some great restaurants and some of the best scenery in the world, and it's very hard to compete with IMO.Slightly cliche'!!!???

THAT is an amazing pic, Mike. Not much else to say. it really is breath take'n.
It was an amazing trip I took back in June. If you want to see more pics from that trip, they are here:

Some of the most incredible scenery to be seen from the air is in Arizona. Near Flagstaff there is Meteor Crater which is incredible. It's so big a C150 got stuck inside and crashed trying to get out back in the late 60's. Just to the southeast of Meteor Crater there's the San Francisco volcano range where there are dozens, if not hundreds of cinder cone volcanoes which are amazing to view from the air. Lake Powell is an incredible lake to fly over. I only spent a day there on my way to California, but I hope to go back to Page, AZ soon.

Depends on where you stay and what you do, of course. YMMV....
Having traveled extensively to both places, it's not my experience either as long as you get away from Waikiki. Our honeymoon was a week each on Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui. We spent a day and a half on Oahu coming and going. All the islands have something unique to offer. Hawaii (the big island) is active volcanos where you can hike to actual oozing lava flows, go to the top of Mauna Kea for the astronomy buff, and snorkle some awesome reefs. Kauai is all about the Napali coast, and Waimea Canyon (grand canyon of the Pacific). Maui - just get the book Maui Revealed and follow your interests.
Does it really matter?
Not so much at the time, but 20 yrs later when yer wife starts talking about your honeymoon and you can't remember any of it, things get interesting.
Luckily, Leslie and I hit that mark a few months ago. And I still remember where we honeymooned.And the liklihood of staying married that long?.... is...Not so much at the time, but 20 yrs later when yer wife starts talking about your honeymoon and you can't remember any of it, things get interesting.
