7. Scottsdale, Arizona
While love may be free, honeymoons, alas, are not. Need proof? Consider the unfavorable exchange rate the US dollar offers you against just about every major world currency. (http://www.xe.com/ucc/) Consider up-and-coming Scottsdale, Ariz. and your honeymoon dollar is "at home." Chic shops, fabulous weather, and succulent local fare await you. Frank Lloyd Wrights Taliesin West and the fabulous Desert Botanical Gardens are a stone's throw away. Best yet, Robert Indianas iconic Love sculpture, outside the cutting-edge Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, makes a picture perfect postcard for your wedding album.
