Would our wedding and honeymoon be covered under Chapter 7 or would it be thrown out and considered a “luxury expense”?
I recently got married and had to charge most of our wedding/honeymoon expenses and now that combined with our other credit card and medical debt is becoming overwhelming. Will our honeymoon vacation reflect negatively towards us if we went in the direction of filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

That depends on when the charges were made, the amounts, what your income was at the time and overall your intent to repay. THe more recent the charges are, the more likely the creditor(s) are to object to discharge of the debt.
You need to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to go over the details of your situation.
