If you'd like a signed card, how about buying a card that you like and when you go and have a quiet word with your crew member to explain that this is your honeymoon, you could give him/her the card and ask if he/she would mind very much getting his/her colleagues to sign your card so that you can keep a souvenir of your honeymoon trip? I'm sure that they will be very happy to.

I'll be doing F to SCL next month and will tell the crew it's our honeymoon when we board for no reason other than i fully expect to be overly excited and too chatty when we take our seats.

Well, on the up side, the weather is only smashing here at the moment. 28 - 30. The sweet spot of the year.
The downside is that AUH is a mixed fleet route, and, how do I put this, the crew generally come across like they are on work experience from 6th form. Don't set your expectation bar too high. My only real advice I could offer is, if the cabin is relatively full (I.e. 7 or 8), don't leave it too late to go to the solitary toilet before landing.

Thanks for the toilet tip.

Don't forget to try the one at B gates as well
I had the same... a great unexpected gift and beautiful way to start the honeymoon off. Didn't get a card, but I think I prefer the booze :-)
In January we flew in F on our wedding anniversary. We mentioned this quietly as we were being seated. We had the normal high level of friendly service, but as we were about to disembark at the end of the flight the crew discreetly slipped us an unopened bottle of LPGS to take away.

I think that after all the excitement of the wedding and so on, which will probably be Amazing, you should have modest expectations of a trip on an aeroplane. How can an aeroplane match a wedding that you've planned for forever?
It's only a metal tube in the sky, supported by airflow. Start with low expectations and give someone the chance of exceeding your expectations.

If you want anything extra on top of the normal first class service for your wife, you'll need to make arrangements yourself because they can't just pop round to a supermarket for cake decorating pens etc...
You can give it to the crew discreetly.
