Question

Answer 1

You could never go wrong with Hawaii!

Answer 2

Key West also popped into my head immediately...its gorgeous AND loads of fun ;)

Answer 3

You know there is part of the virgin islands thats American. :) wonderful water and a place not to be forgotten!  good luck

Answer 4

For the warm:

Key West:  Mentioned a dozen times already but it was also the first thing that came to mind, primarily due to the weather.  Although Key West is pretty commercialized, so if you are looking for something a little more romantic, maybe one of the other keys would be better.  Big Pine Key is my favorite.

St. Augustine, FL:  The oldest city in the country and its a cross between a quaint old town and a giant tourist trap.  I still love it though.  It's a must if either are you are history buffs.  The B&B scene here is huge, and many of them claim to be haunted (extra reason to snuggle close at night!)

Orlando, FL:  Disney has all kinds of honeymoon packages that can be lots of fun.  If you are looking to act like a kid again, and money isn't an issue - this could be an option.  Plus the first two weeks of December are the closest thing to a ghost town Disney ever gets.  You guys could avoid the crowds and really enjoy the place.

If you are more into adventure and hiking - hit Death Valley National Park.  You can camp, rent a cabin, rent a room in the fancy (so-to-speak) hotel.  December is a great time to go and it's so unique and beautiful here.  Less so in August when you can't get out of your airconditioned car - but perfect in December.

Again, more beautiful sunsets and hiking:  Grand Canyon National Park.  December has such a low mortality rate (only half joking), the weather is perfect during this time, sometimes even a little cold.  A great time to try to hike the rim if you are so inclined, and if you aren't - they have hotels (lodges?) with some of the most incredible views you'll ever get.

Cruises:  You get treated like royalty, you can eat all you want, visit interesting ports and really really relax.  Perfect way to spend the first week as bride and groom.  

For the cold:

Niagra Falls:  They say the rushing water increases the amount of positive ions in the air, making everyone happy - hence the reputation of the honeymoon capital of the world or country or something.  I love Niagra in winter - the water mist sticks to trees and coats everything a shimmering white, like it's all covered in diamond dust or something.  The area around Niagra is a bit toursity, but still some fun things to do.

Rocky Mountains, CO: perfect if you want to ski or you're looking for a reason to drink champagne in front of the fire!

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the cold, so I'm having a hard time trying to remember cold places I enjoyed.  But I did remember 2! hehe.  I hope you find the place that suits you best and enjoy your honeymoon.

Answer 5

Key West, FL.  It will be nice weather and the place is 100% for couples, whether g*y or straight.  I made the mistake of going alone once, because I always wanted to go there and had a miserable time alone.

Answer 6

how about Iceland?

Answer 7

Steamboat Springs Colorado

Answer 8

Hawaii

Galapacos

Acapulco or Ixtapa mexico< Beautiful there

Answer 9

Hawaii is always warm and always struck me as romantic.

But if you want to be original, go to a mountain cabin in Colorado... visit Manitou Springs to window shop and eat at The Mona Lisa... (I'm a CO Native, and Manitou Springs has always been one of my favorite places... it's quirky, fun, and cozy)... nothing says romantic like being cozy in the snow. =)

Answer 10

gonna depend on what interests you.  there will be that one day you actually want to go outside.  my first thought is Hawaii.  but maybe you actually like the cold.  if you ski, colorado is great.  and there are a couple of mountains outside Salt Lake.  or you could take a cruise to US Virgin Islands.

one great place for all ages, all the time, is Vegas.

Answer 11

San Antonio would be great.  The weather is very mild, and the River Walk is a great place to hang out, relax, and eat some great food.

Answer 12

If you enjoy warmer weather than most of the country is having but not being to hot i would suggest florida.  If you like snow I would suggest aspen if you have a large wallet.

Answer 13

The Keys or Key west
