The islands of Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora are "High Islands" due to their peak altitude and their climates are slightly different than the rest of French Polynesia. What you can expect weather-wise is heat and humidity with days that begin clear, cloud cover building up during the day and then dramatic and powerful thunderstorms in the afternoons.
As for the island itself, Bora Bora is staggeringly gorgeous, though I would have to place it 3rd amongst the tropical islands I've been to behind Rarotonga and Moorea. Of course, this is like trying to pick between three SI swimsuit models. If there was more time between now and your honeymoon I'd recommend you take a long, hard look at going to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. It's simply the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my life.
