My fiance and I are paying for our honeymoon and we both are very young without a lot of money. It is very hard for us to go somewhere really expensive when we are paying for some of the wedding as well. Came somebody give me some ideas for a cheap, but yet not too cheap, honeymoon?
Thanks

Honeymoons on a budget are always tough. You want to get that nice, romantic atmosphere of a honeymoon without breaking the bank.
Depending on the time of year you are marrying there are always specials on cruises and you get alot of bang for the buck on those. Carnival is probably your least expensive but unless you are in your 20s it may not be the honeymoon atmosphere you had in mind. Norwegian and Royal Caribbean are only slightly more and they offer a better cruise experience. Three day cruises start about $299 per person and seven day cruises start about $599 per person (of course you have to get to the pier and if the drive is too far that brings the price up with airfare)
Las Vegas is always a good spot for honeymooners on a budget looking for adventure. If you take the late night flights you save considerably and the economy have Vegas rooms lower than normal. Go to the nicer resorts like Beau Rivage, Caesar's, New York just to name a few and the atmosphere is not all about gambling. Check out the shows especially Cirque de soleil.
If you have your heart set on going to the Caribbean look at Punta Cana Dominican Republic. You can usually find all inclusive packages that include air, hotel and meals for reasonable rates. The RIU resorts are very nice and even when you stay at the regular RIU, you get guest privileges at the fancier RIU palace. Iberostar is also a good bang for the buck in the Caribbean.
I hope this gets you on your way. If you contact a travel agent with your dates and a budget they can watch the industry specials that fit in with what you want.
