Taiwanese singer and actor Nicky Wu recently said ‘I do’ to his sweetheart and Scarlet Heart co-star Liu Shishi in an intimate destination wedding ceremony hosted at Ayana Resort and Spa in the beautiful island of Bali. In an article posted in The Straits Times, the smitten and teary eyed groom was quoted as saying: “I blamed God for not being good to me, for being unfair to me, for putting me through a lot of strange suffering, for putting me through a lot of unhappy things. Now I understand why. Because God saved the best for me.”

Wu was first besotted by Liu while filming Scarlet Heart, but he didn’t confess his feelings till they shot the sequel to the same film in 2013. The ceremony was a lavish one reportedly costing the couple HK $25 million, and attended by 350 guests which included family, friends and known faces from the film fraternity.

In honour of the newlyweds, we list 5 destination wedding locations in the world, with a little help from our favourite celebrities:
