BENGALURU/NEW DELHI -- For Yuvraj and Apoorva Malik, planning their wedding was hard work. But one thing the Indian newlyweds didn't argue about was where to go for their honeymoon.

"It had to be a foreign vacation -- a place with a mix of luxury, leisure and parties, but one that doesn't burn a big hole in our pocket," said Yuvraj, a 32-year-old media professional in the southern Indian city of Bengaluru. "We couldn't think of a better place than Bali."
