Volcanic Ash Causing Honeymoon & Wedding Chaos

Many couples have found themselves in the terrible position of being left unable to travel to their wedding or honeymoon destination because of the erupting volcano in Iceland which has grounded planes to and from the UK due to the volcanic ash in the air.

Some couples have spent 12 - 18 months planning their big day only to have it quashed by something they could never ever have planned for as this situation is unheard of in the UK before.

One lucky couple however, were able to beat mother nature by exchanging their wedding vows via webcam. The couple Sean and Nathalie Murtagh were stranded in Dubai while 100 wedding guests waited in the UK. The hotel they were staying out pulled out all of the stops by arranging the live link, a stunning wedding cake and even a red carpet. The groom even borrowed his wedding outfit from other guests.

However, before you all go thinking this could be a great way forward - the couple we already legally married! They had planned a replica wedding back in the UK which is what they were on their way back for.

Let's hope the wind of change is upon us so that all our couples can enjoy their honeymoons and destination weddings as planned.

Happy Planning ♥
