The former TOWIE star, 32, tied the knot with Oliver Burke, 27, in a romantic ceremony earlier this month after saying 'I do' in front of their loved ones at Grantley Hall in North Yorkshire. And after they welcomed their first child Landon in October, 2024, they have now enjoyed their first official holiday as a married couple. Sharing a sweet reel to Instagram on Friday, Megan showed her followers what it has been like to honeymoon with their toddler. In the clip, the couple can seen taking turns holding Landon as they attempted to enjoy a few romantic dinners out together. They also posted numerous clips of them pushing the little one in a pram around the luxurious hotel. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Megan McKenna (@meganmckenna) Alongside the clip, she penned: 'A beautiful night on our honeymoon with a very hectic voiceover ♥️ 'We have hardly got dressed up this whole holiday because it's so hard to go for dinner due to landons bedtime! 'We tried putting him to sleep in the pram and doing a 8pm dinner and wow it affects his whole night sleep!!! So we've got it down to a T. 'I feed Landon his dinner at 6. I bath him we get ready and then go for a 7pm dinner to be back in the room for 8.30. Basically we inhale our dinner pretty rushed but oh well.' They have also shared an insight into their wedding day as she recently shared their professional video of their big day to Instagram. Sharing a compilation of highlights from the special day Oliver looked emotional as he shed a few tears while waiting for his bride-to-be at the end of the aisle. She looked elegant as she donned a bespoke flowing white gown from Maison Peter Langner. Her gown featured a voluminous pleated skirt, a sweeping train, and a structured corset bodice with exposed boning, embellished with hand-embroidered macramé lace roses. Completing the look was a long cathedral veil, softly draped and adorned with appliqués of three different French Chantilly laces, fading into a delicate degradé effect toward the centre. Meanwhile the Scottish pro footballer looked incredibly dapper in a black tuxedo as he held his son Landon, who looked adorable in a matching black suit, in his arms. Megan and Oliver gave a glimpse of the lavish venue, which features beautifully landscaped grounds, a suite adorned with a decadent chandelier, and a champagne and cocktail bar. The couple shared a passionate kiss in front of their friends and family after exchanging their vows before they were showered in confetti. For the wedding reception, Megan slipped into a gorgeous white couture gown, complete with elegant sleeves and pearl accessories. The beauty looked on cloud nine as she shared a romantic first dance with her husband. The couple then shared another passionate kiss as they cut their jaw-dropping seven-tier cake in front of their wedding party. No expense was spared for the lavish reception, as the happy couple went all out on decorations, the band, and dancers, partying their way late into the evening. Alongside the sweet clip, Megan wrote: 'Forever & ever and always. 07/06/25 A real life fairytale. @tynegate_films.' The couple, who welcomed their first child Landon in October, had a joint hen and stag do at the end of May. Megan wore a chic white shirt dress, complete with a veil and a bride-to-be sash. Meanwhile, Oliver wore a black T-shirt with a pair of smart white linen trousers to celebrate with friends and family during their holiday. She captioned the post: 'It's nearly time… also my family are to cute, thanks guys I love you.' Megan added: 'Me & Oli came downstairs for the evening to 'chapel of love' playing… video will be posted soon.' In March, Megan teased details about the couple's nuptials, as she went for a fitting for multiple wedding dresses after spending three weeks apart from Oliver. Oli got down on one knee after enjoying a romantic boat trip in Montenegro back in June 2023, after a whirlwind five-month romance. And Megan gushed it was 'so exciting' that the pair were getting closer to being husband and wife, as she explained she had to be remeasured for her wedding dresses after shedding several pounds. Captioning the post, she said: 'Hadn't seen Oli in 3 weeks, this is how our day went… don't worry guys Oli hasn't seen my wedding dresses. 'They are in Italy atm being made! Eeek. I had to pop in to get my measurements taken again as my baby weight is dropping off me!!!! Not long now ♥️'. In September, Megan left the UK and moved to Germany to be with her footballer fiancé Olly, deciding to give birth over there. The Scotsman plays as a right winger or forward for the German football team, Bundesliga club Werder Bremen. In a previous Instagram video, Megan announced: 'Guess what! I'm moving to Germany. I know I did some stories yesterday about packing. 'And I think I few of you thought I was going into labour but no let's hope I don't go into labour because I am now giving birth in Germany. 'I know a few of you guys have been like 'Where's Olly?' Olly is in Germany and all our stuff has been in storage for a couple of months. 'A bit crazy that I'm moving countries. I'm actually excited, like it's obviously going to be a big change.' Megan revealed that they had to 'move hospitals very last minute' and it was 'crazy' and 'all a bit of a rush'. The original plan was for Olly to fly back in time for her due date. However, Megan was worried that her partner would miss the birth of their baby.

The Canadian Island For When You Really, Really Want to Get Away
On a recent trip to Battle Harbour, an island in Canada's Labrador Sea, I heard the Northern Lights. Or at least I think I did. Scientists still debate whether the aurora actually makes any sounds, but as I gazed at the chartreuse display, I thought I could make out a faint whispered whistle in the night's otherwise profound silence. A true separation from the din of daily life eludes most of us, even on vacation—but in that moment, I was sure I'd found it. For most of the year, the remote island of Battle Harbour in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador lies empty, pummeled by relentless snowstorms. Icebergs regularly float by in the bay. But for the three months of summer, the island opens briefly, like a portal to another quieter world. I had traveled to the island from New York City with my new husband as part of our honeymoon.

Bride was overjoyed to marry love of her life... until ICE spotted her as she arrived in US Virgin Islands for HONEYMOON
A delighted newlywed arrived in the US Virgin Islands for a honeymoon with her handsome husband, only to be abruptly detained by ICE and taken into custody. Ward Sakeik, from Arlington, Texas, remains in ICE detention after she was arrested in February when she and her new husband Taahir Shaikh were stopped by authorities on St Thomas Shaikh said the couple had just arrived to begin their honeymoon when photographer wife was detained, despite having proof of a unique circumstance documents and a pending green card application. 'The past 12 months of my life has just been the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows,' he told NBC5. 'You go from buying your first home, planning your dream wedding, attending that wedding, going on your honeymoon, to being separated for over 120 days.' Sakeik was born in Saudi Arabia as a Palestinian refugee. She has been considered stateless her whole life because Saudi officials did not recognize her as a national. She was eight when her family came to the US to apply for asylum, but when the asylum request was denied, the US couldn't deport them because they had no citizenship. Instead, Sakeik's family were given an order of supervision and were required to check in with immigration officials annually, leaving her in a legal limbo that was only discovered when she went on her honeymoon. Sakeik was born in Saudi Arabia as a Palestinian refugee, and has been stateless her whole life after US officials rejected her family's asylum application when she was eight but allowed them to stay in the country Living her whole life as a stateless person living in the US, Shaikh said his wife has always complied with the annual immigration check-ups and never expected to be detained. Shaikh said they believed the US Virgin Islands was a safe location for them to travel to celebrate their nuptials. 'We felt we did our due diligence, and we were very intentional. There's a reason we chose the U.S. Virgin Islands,' he said. Sakeik, a graduate of UT Arlington and a wedding photographer, was taken to Texas after she was detained in the Caribbean. She spent several months in the McAllen Detention Center in Texas, and is now in Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas. As newlyweds, the couple said their first months as a married couple have been far from what they expected when they tied the knot at the start of the year. Shaikh said they can only communicate through video calls and weekly visitations. 'She constantly says, 'When I get through this phase of my life, what am I not able to endure after this?'' he said. According to the Center for Migration Studies, when a stateless person is detained they can be released from custody after 90 days. But Sakeik has been held for over 120 days, and her new husband says he has received no communication from ICE officials. Her green card application will also remain on hold while she is detained, and the couple say they are hiring immigration lawyers in hopes that she can be freed. 'I need people to realize that this is someone who has complied every year for 14 years and has always sought to be able to build lawful permanent residence,' Shaikh said. 'But when you're stateless, you don't have that luxury. Now that you're finally at the finish line, why would you take it away.'
