A devastated bride found out on Facebook that her dream wedding abroad had been cancelled. Hope Woolston said she broke down in tears when she saw a post on social media that said TUI was cancelling holidays to Costa Rica, a location Hope and her fiancé had fallen in love with and decided to marry there.
After initially planning a traditional 'white wedding', Hope and her partner decided to take the plunge and book a wedding and holiday to the Central American destination, which TUI had assured them was a "stress-free" way to get married, with everything sorted out for them.
The pair headed to their local TUI store in Colchester, Essex, to book their dream package, with Hope saying a wedding surrounded by gorgeous beaches, a tropical climate and incredible wildlife sounded "right up our street", she wrote in EssexLive. Four months after booking, while the couple were eagerly awaiting their incredible trip, Hope saw something on social media that sent her into "panic mode".
