While there are few complaints ever about the Maldives and they are also rated one of the highest in satisfaction for honeymooners, one thing that cant be overcome by beauty and great service is Mother Nature. June- August are the wettest months in the Maldives
While some will testify that they've been and it's fine. This gamble with Mother Nature always has winners and losers. A higher risk for what will be a costly trip could lead to a certain level of dissatifaction. I guess what the question to ask is- What is the attraction to the Maldives for you and can that be replaced with a less riskier and compareable destination? If it can, maybe go with Plan B. If your heart is set on the Maldives, having a realistic expectation before you leave (it might rain a lot) might help you have a higher level of satifaction or lower level of dissatifaction. Also, if it doesn't rain a drop, imagine the pleasure you'll feel beating Mother Nature. Something to consider for such a special trip.
Also to consider is Seychelles(direct QA)- Mauritius(Emirates via Dubai) slightly longer flights, price- same in comparison though the Seychelles starts at a slightly higher bracket. But rainfall and rain days less

Of course, on the flipside, since it is low season in the Maldives, prices will be lower and the chances at getting a really good package are better.
Like many have suggested, try booking through a local reservation company or get a quote direct from the hotel.
