Turkish Visa for Pakistani Honeymooners

Thanks Aziz for your email.
Yes Turkey is a great place for a honeymoon especially if you are planning that in summers. For honeymoon, you may need to apply for a regular visa.

First thing first, do check if you both have passports valid for 1 year from now.
In case you have a US multiple visa then you might rely on the e-Visa facility, http://www.evisa.gov.tr/, i.e. in this case you don't need to go anywhere physically. This is amazingly simple and hassle-free. Here is a first hand account of a Pakistani travelers who did exactly that: http://samramuslim.com/turkish-diary-day-1/
But for the ones, like myself, without that luxury the process is rather cumbersome. Here you may find official information about how to get the Turkish visa: http://islamabad.emb.mfa.gov.tr/ShowInfoNotes.aspx?ID=198415 and from here you may download the Visa Application form: http://islamabad.be.mfa.gov.tr/images/TemsilcilikOzel/0n4fbh45kfe0sq45izitmenlvisaform.doc
Recently one of my colleagues applied for the same for his family from Karachi and here goes his experience, which might also be useful for you:

So this is my two cents worth, hopefully helpful. Please feel free to contact me should you need more information.
