"Surrounded by friends and family on the island of Phuket, Thailand, Darren Osbourn and Nicola Smith had what can only be described as a dream wedding. But, five days after trying to return home to London, they are still stranded in Oman, experiencing - as they describe it - an extended honeymoon in a war zone."
"The newlyweds, along with their two young children, are now among scores of Britons trapped in the Middle East anxiously waiting to find out if they will get a space on the government's first rescue flight. The couple paid 1,400 to apply for four seats on the repatriation flight, which will travel from Oman's capital, Muscat, to Heathrow on Wednesday evening."
A British couple and their two children are among scores of Britons trapped in Oman following the Middle East crisis. After their wedding in Thailand, they attempted to return to London but became stranded five days later. They paid £1,400 to apply for four seats on a government repatriation flight departing from Muscat to Heathrow on Wednesday evening, but face uncertainty about seat allocation. The government plans to fly 180 British nationals home on this initial rescue flight as the regional crisis intensifies. The family remains in their hotel awaiting confirmation of their placement on the evacuation flight.
