Wife and I did honeymoon in Kyoto and took a side trip to Nara.
Both really beautiful cities.
Kyoto is like a chilled Tokyo - nowhere near as busy. Nara is super relaxed, almost a hometown feel. Deer everywhere in the main section and if you're there in the fall - the leaves are astounding.
If you want to save a little cash - try to find a "BUSINESS" hotel. They are smaller rooms usually for businessmen who missed the last train or have to stay overnight. Try to get a non-smoking room (unless you smoke of course haha)...
OR
Stay at an onsen - if you've never been, it's really nice and refreshing. Usually room comes with small dishes, dinner and breakfast.
Then take the small train from Kyoto station over to Nara and walk around the old temples - visit the Todaiji temple - has a massive Buddha.
I believe there's a temple near there where you can get blessed for your marriage or job - Last time we were there, it was under construction however...
Congrats on the marriage - have a wonderful time no matter where you end up on your travels ; )
