Honeymoon Destinations

Honeymoon ideas based on the following?
(I tried asking this in general destinations, but I got no responses. Even though this is the Caribbean section of YA, your answer doesn't necessarily have to be in the Caribbeans, although I know this area may very well cater to my needs!) My fiance and I are trying to think up the perfect honeymoon destination, and we would like a little help. Feel free to provide links to the places you recommend. Basically we want to go somewhere warm, and somewhere on or near the ocean. Our biggest desire is to be on a small resort or a private island, something that doesn't cater to thousands of tourists, we want a private and romantic week of secluded bliss. I am thinking of maybe a bungalow on the ocean, or a resort for only a small number of couples, I really am not sure! All I know is we want an ocean view as close as possible, if not directly on the water, with as many modern amenities as possible that caters to our desire for privacy. Our total budget for one week is $5,000 but as with anything it would be great to spend less without sacrificing too much luxury. Bonuses for private pools/hot-tubs and anything on the ocean. Feel free to post any recommendation based on the info that I gave to you. Thank you!

Elope and then have a ceremony on one year anniversary?
I am in the very BEGINNING stages of planning a wedding. I never thought it would be THIS stressful. My main stress is MONEY. We want to spend as little money as possible so that we can have an amazing honeymoon. My fiance suggested that rather than having a big wedding ceremony/reception for 100-150 people, that we just elope to our honeymoon destination and then have a ceremony on our one year anniversary for family/friends to come too. What are your thoughts on this idea? We want to be married as soon as possible. We had thought about waiting until Spring 2013, but that seems SO far away. We can't wait that long. We want to start a family, buy a house, etc.

How do i approach my groomsman for an overdue wedding gift?
So, my wife and I got married on September 10th, 2011 and I had one groomsman in particular who was very difficult to deal with through most of the wedding planning details (bachelor party, suit fittings/pickup, etc). Only reason I didn't kick him out of the wedding party is because I value him (and still do) as a really good friend. Here's where it all goes South. He brought his pregnant girlfriend with him to the wedding reception, which was fine, but near the end of the reception when he was going to put his gift envelope into the money box, he came to me and said he has to get money to put in the card first. Which i thought was kinda weird - why tell me that? Anyway, the night ended and my new wife and I flew out the next morning to our honeymoon destination. Fast forward to a week later, and we're going through our envelopes from the wedding, and I realize that we had gotten one from all our guests but not from the one groomsman. I called him and asked where it was, fearing that it might have been lost. But he said "no i put it in the box, it should be there, it's $200" and I replied, "it's not here bro, we emptied the gift box at the end of the night and we just went through all the cards" so then he says "oh man, ok i'll get the card to you." NOW, you guys tell me, doesn't that sound like he just DIDN'T put the card in the box to begin with? So now he says give him 2 weeks, i did, and then the 3rd week of October I asked him for it again because we needed to pay our wedding vendors and stuff. He said give him until the END OF OCTOBER. So i said ok and i told the vendors i needed to extend my payment deadline because I wanted to use the groomsman's final amount to pay it off. But, of course, then end of October came and passed and I didn't hear from the groomsman. so in early November, I contacted him again and he told me to send my best friend to pick it up on the weekend and he'd have it ready. so my best friend was ready to go on the Saturday, and contacted the groomsman and said "hey Kev is coming by to pickup the card today, what time is good for you?" and the groomsman responded with "sorry, something came up, i won't be able to give it to him today." Now i'm already pissed because i had to end up paying the final $200 to the vendors out of my own pocket. Now keep in mind, this groomsman is trying to buy a home, he has a 4 year old daughter and another on the way with another woman. So he has a lot going on, but WHO DOESNT? Also I should add that he is very well paid - he works as a teacher for the TDSB (Toronto district School Board) AND he works a part time job. So why is he holding out on me for so long? ALSO, while i'm waiting for him to just give me the frigging gift already, he also is always posting on Twitter that he's going out watching movies and buying video games and shit, so why can't he give me the money he said he would give me for my wedding? Its been almost 2 weeks since he said he was sorry that I had to pay out of pocket for him and his girl, and that he would give me the money asap. Since then, he's been ignoring any of my messages and his phone doesn't connect properly when I call him. I sent ham text this morning stating that I'm in a hard situation right now and I need the money from him but still no reply. I figured that since Friday is coming and it's most likely his pay day, that he should be able to give me the money and put this behind us, because i'm not going to stop messaging him about it. Part of me feels like he had no intention of giving me the gift at the wedding, and he has no intention of giving it to me now. It's like him and his girl pretty much came to our wedding reception for a free party and drank (it was open bar) and ate dinner for free, while all the other guests gave us money to cover the cost of their plates. It has been 2 months since the wedding, and we're almost into the 3rd month! All i know is that if the tables were turned, I wouldn't be putting him through this, regardless of whatever I had going on in my life, I would have given him the gift at the wedding, and not promise it at a later date and have him waiting on me to the point where he can't wait any longer. This is F***ing ridiculous and i feel like a fool for having him as a part of my wedding, cause I see the pictures that he's in and I can't believe that he's treating me this way. I wouldn't' do that to him. So what do you guys think I should do? Like I said, I messaged him today, and haven't received a response yet...he either got paid last friday or is getting paid in 2 days (this Friday) For those of you who think I'm being rude for asking him for the gift and whatnot. try to understand that he's the ONLY ONE who didn't give us a gift. AND he was a groomsman. You don't think I have any right to be upset that my friend brought his girlfriend along the ride, so she got a free evening of eat and drink, and then he has the money to buy all this other stuff and do other things, but can't give his friend a wedding gift? seriously? lol
