This certainly does not excuse the poor service from *wood customer care but it's just possible this whole mess could have been avoided from the begining with some due diligence.

Everyone wants a trip as special as a honeymoon to be perfect. Make the extra phone calls to assure it is.

the forbidden by law issue is a non starter as you can book other hotels in italy (and rome in particular) on the honeymoon website
