The answer is simple...cross the Maldives off your wedding/holiday list and see how funny they think it is in a few years time when most of them are sat cross legged on their backsides picking their noses.

Appalling behaviour by the staff in question, and I feel sorry for the couple now that they, and the whole world, know what was actually going on.

However, if this hadn't come out, they would probably still have thought that they'd had a wonderfully romantic wedding/renewal of wedding vows (depending on which news story you read).

Perhaps naively, I've always imagined that people who go for overseas weddings either speak the language, or have picked a package which includes a ceremony in their native language.

I can't quite get my head round the idea that you could have such a personal and important ceremony without understanding a word that's being said. Personally, I think that it would take a lot of the significance away - as well as the 'meaning' of it, in all senses.

This incident also demonstrates the risks involved.

Very sad.
