Thoughts on Wedding #4 - Honeymoon Where?

Our wedding is in less than three months and I don't know where on this earth to go for  the honeymoon. Should I be freaking out by now? Oh I don't know. I think I'm easily freaked out about so many things at this moment.

Initially I had this idea of going to Europe. Yes, everybody is going to Europe for their honeymoon.  I don't care. I still want to go there. I've been dreaming about going to Italy for so long. Well, actually since last year. Since the day I read The Broker by John Grisham (a thriller novel but Grisham really painted a really beautiful imagery on this book about Italy) and  I was mad about Italian football on last World Cup (yes, the one and only Fabio Cannavaro! RAWR). I was so in love with Italy and learned a little of Italian. Now the books are already covered in dust. But still, I want to go to Italy.
I've been dreaming of being greeted "Buon giorno!" every morning by the locals, conversing with them a little, well you know, putting my Italian into practice. Then we'll be having a really good croissant alla cremma con un caffe. The weather would be cloudy and a bit cold, I and my new husband would be hand in hand, staring at each others' eyes, all smiles - just like those happy commercials on TV. I want to go to Le Cinque Terre, Piazza del Duomo, The Capri Island, Venice, Milan, Il Colosseo in Rome and so many more. We'll be having the greatest pastas and pizzas there - I don't care if I gain weight. Oh and the gelato too! The dream I had was so beautiful.

Until several friends of mine told different stories about Italy - that it was full of pickpocketing, scammers, rude people, etc. The city is dirty and it's really unsafe to go there. Going there with a group is safer, even though there's no guarantee. The thing is, there is no group going there in early March. I don't want to delay the honeymoon just in case I get knocked up early.
One of my best friends just came back from her honeymoon. She went to Spain, Italy and France. Well she wouldn't recommend me going there for the honeymoon. The crisis in Europe had begun to rise and the unemployment is expected to rise. Thus, the criminal rates also is. Puff! and jut like that Europe was crossed off of the honeymoon list. *sobs*



Andry wants to go to Maldives or Japan.
I want to go to Germany, Switzerland or UK. 

How are we going to decide?
