Newlyweds George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin topped off their extravagant wedding in Italy with a honeymoon in Seychelles. The couple was married last week, and the ceremony made international headlines. The Oscar-winning actor and British-Lebanese lawyer started dating last year and became engaged in April. They exchanged vows amid media coverage and excited fans waiting to see and hear all the details. Many celebrity friends attended, including Bono, Matt Damon, and Cindy Crawford.

The Seychelles is a gorgeous archipelago, or island chain located in the Indian Ocean. It is a popular vacation destination, known for attracting many high profile guests, including Hollywood royalty. Many famous figures have spent their honeymoon there, including Prince William and Catherine Middleton. With white sandy beaches, crystal blue water, and a paradise setting, it is the ideal place to spend their first days as a married couple. The island chain is secluded, making for a private getaway that is a plus for many celebrities.

Clooney, 53, and Alamuddin, 36, previously vacationed in the Seychelles. It is a fine choice for a honeymoon, and they are staying in a secluded area accessible only by helicopter. In addition to a honeymoon in paradise, the couple also obtained a marriage certificate, so now they are official. Many magazines have featured details on the wedding, such as the bride’s dress, the ceremony, and location. No doubt the press will want more photos and details of the wedding when the couple heads back to the United States. For now, the newlyweds are enjoying married bliss.

The glamorous pair received well wishes from friends and fans alike. The newlyweds are staying at the exclusive North Island resort, and it was apparently recommended by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. It marks a perfect end to a perfect wedding, and an escape from the press.
