It makes sense that we wont be able to see all the places I've listed in such a short period of time. The fiance really wants to see Germany, and I've heard mixed opinions about paris and rome, so I'm not sure if it's worth staying in these places for more than 2 days each. Thoughts?
What does everyone suggest is a must-do for Europe?

If she insists on Germany, then fly into Frankfurt. Take a train to nearby Mainz. Get on a slow boat down the Rhine to Koblenz or Cologne. You will see the most scenic part of the Rhine. Castles, pleasant small towns. You will also have a relaxing way to start your holiday.
You can see the collosal cathedral in Cologne (Koln) or from Koblenz take the Moselle river to Cochem and then Trier. By train or boat. More great German scenery.
Other places in Germany that are very interesting: Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg, and Munich for big cities and great museums.
I particularly enjoy some smaller cities/towns like Heidelberg, Wurzburg, and Bamberg.
Considering it is a honeymoon, perhaps the Romantic road would be the place to go. Rothenberg and the great castles of mad king Ludwig. Neuschwanstein, linderhof, etc.
There are so many things to see and do in Germany, also France, Italy and Greece; that there are no wrong answers.
