Wow, what a fun thread! It has all the usual hallmarks of Flyertalk: someone asking about the possibility of an upgrade, followed by numerous posts attacking him, calling him a liar, and berating him for not doing a search! Ah, Flyertalk!
At any rate, I don't know why people are getting their undies in such a wad over a simple question about an upgrade. As most of us know, in other parts of the travel industry (hotels, car rentals, etc.) upgrades for honeymooners are fairly common. Maybe the OP didn't fully realize how upgrade protocol works at airlines or how valuable airline upgrades are. He really may have been asking an innocent question. There's no need to get nasty and accusatory. Just answer the question (even if the answer is, "That's not how airline upgrades work, sorry, you're out of luck").
That's not so hard, is it??
