Honeymoon Discussions

Parents offer to pay for Honeymoon but fall short in reality. What should I do?

My parents (the groom) have offered to pay for the honeymoon but on an extremely limited budget.  I have tried everyway possible to think of possible discounts but I cannot get it to fit.  Although I'm very grateful that they offering what they have, I don't think in reality it will be enough.

I've thought of trying to plug the difference myself but as said even with a "plug" of our own and their budget, it would still be difficult.  This of course at the expense of other items like a house, etc.  I also always expected that "incidentals" would be on myself and fiance but not only that but adding a "plug", I'm afraid it might be too much. 

I was thinking of merely asking the money to go directly on a down payment on our first house and doing a honeymoon later in life on our dime.  I have also thought of asking a raise in the budget but I don't see that making too much of a difference.  Its a delicate situation and I was curious what others thought.  Thanks.
