A man called Thomas Cook who was planning to get married in Rhodes next week may have his wedding cancelled after the collapse of the travel company which shares his name.
Thomas, 29, and his partner Amelia Binch, 27, are currently in Rhodes, Greece on a £10,000 dream holiday which was set to include their wedding on September 27.
Guests, including the best man, were set to join them at the Lindos Princess hotel over the next few days on Thomas Cook flights.
But as all outbound flights have been cancelled - and the entire wedding package has been booked through Thomas Cook the couple have been warned the event may not happen, reports NottinghamshireLive .
They have even been warned to be on standby for an emergency flight home at any time.
Mr Cook said: "Thomas Cook promised us a surprise on our wedding because of my name but this was not the surprise we were expecting.
"I am just devastated. We have got 30 plus friends and family coming out, half are stuck at home in limbo. My best man is still in England. No one here knows anything.
"I have been planning this for two years and it has all gone to pot. We have paid for everything. It is shattering. We don't know what we can do.
"Thomas Cook staff have been good but they lost their jobs."
Miss Binch, a beauty therapist, added: "It is costing us nearly £10,000 and we are sat here stressed out. We don't know if we are getting married.
"I had a collapsed lung before I came and I got the all clear. It just seems like one thing after the other. We are ATOL protected but it is an absolute nightmare.
"We are just really anxious. We are being told we might be flying back to Manchester or London and we could be told we are to fly out today. They have said it could be any time."
The couple, who have been together for 12 years, chose the location because they wanted to get married abroad and it was cheaper to marry in Rhodes than having a wedding in the UK.
"It's awful," she added. "You don't expect it to happen with a company like this. That's why we booked with them. It is now going to cost us more."
Thomas Cook have posted a statement on their website.
It reads: "Thomas Cook UK Plc and associated UK entities have entered Compulsory Liquidation and are now under the control of the Official Receiver.
"The UK business has ceased trading with immediate effect and all future flights and holidays are cancelled.
"A dedicated support service is being provided by The Civil Aviation Authority to assist customers currently overseas and those in the UK with future bookings."
