If this was an ordinary leisure flight or the OP was a backpacker, I would not hesitate to recommend Air Asia, which I fly a lot myself (including earlier this week, as it happens). But not on a honeymoon...
Thanks for elaborating on why it would be a dumbass idea to fly an LCC on one's honeymoon. The difference in cost is not great enough to risk it.

Now, I flew JetstarAsia between SIN and HKG for a reasonable fare and had a fine experience, except that my plane sat on the tarmac for three hours due to a mechanical issue. I had my exit row and was in no rush so I was perfectly content but I don't know what I would have done had the flight been cancelled.
