Honeymoons are typically a time for couples to unwind and bond, but what happens when one partner is left behind? This was the predicament faced by Mia Thompson, who married her husband, Mark, about seven months ago. The couple had planned an idyllic honeymoon in Greece, but due to some unfortunate visa issues, Mark’s travel plans fell through. Initially, Mia was hesitant to embark on the trip without him, but a lack of refund options forced her hand. Reluctantly, she decided to travel with her in-laws instead.
Mia’s first night was filled with tears, but her mother-in-law encouraged her to make the most of the situation. So, channeling her inner traveler, Mia set out to visit all the places she and Mark had dreamed of exploring together. In a series of tragically funny photos, she documented her journey, showcasing her longing for her partner in the most creative ways.
One standout moment captured Mia pretending to leap off a boat with a dramatic shout of, “I’ll never let go, Mark!” Her photos feature her posing in front of stunning ancient ruins and bustling streets, often holding out her arms for an imaginary companion. Talk about a modern-day Greek tragedy!
From enjoying the picturesque landscapes of Santorini to feeling the solitude of cobblestone streets, Mia’s adventures took on a humorous twist. At one point, she even dropped her phone into the Aegean Sea, leaving her with one hand outstretched for her lost device and the other for her absent husband. “Loveless and phoneless in Greece,” she quipped, making light of the situation.
Mia’s photos quickly garnered attention after she shared them online, going viral with nearly 1,000 shares. The inspiration for her amusing photos came from Mark, who had previously sent her a picture of himself with an arm around an invisible woman during his own travels. In the comments section, Mia expressed her gratitude for the support she received, humorously thanking the Greek embassy for the visa debacle and her travel agency for the forced getaway.
Despite the disappointment of not having Mark by her side, Mia’s photos perfectly encapsulated making the best out of a less-than-ideal situation. They are sweet, funny, and will undoubtedly be a cherished memory as time passes. Here’s hoping that Mia and Mark eventually get to explore Greece together and recreate these moments — sans the invisible partner. Until then, perhaps they can carve out an epic date night to make up for the missed opportunity.
