The reason Mark and Michelle almost called off their honeymoon

Jun 1, 2015

With Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan's wedding issue of Hello! hitting newsstands yesterday, the couple also took the opportunity to tell the world where they had chosen for their dream honeymoon destination.

Mark took to Instagram yesterday to reveal the couple were enjoying a luxury holiday in the Maldives… but it turns out their post-wedding vacation nearly didn't happen at all.

Despite rumours that the newlyweds would be jetting off the Dubai for an all-expenses-paid break sponsored by the five star Atlantis Hotel, it turns out their plan had in fact been to take a trip to the tropical island of Mauritius.

The volcanic island in the Indian Ocean is hugely popular as a honeymoon spot and is known for its white sandy beaches, rainforests, and of course, lavish hotels and resorts.

However it seems Mother Nature got in the way of Mark and Michelle's well-laid plans, and shortly before the wedding the couple got news that the island was set to be hit by torrential rains for a number of days.

According to The Sun, the newly married couple had to rush to find another option for their trip away, or risk having no honeymoon at all.

Although the couple have not given any details about where they are currently honeymooning aside from the destination, it is believed they booked into an €400-a-night luxury villa in the Maldives. Not the worst plan B in the world…
