Former “Bachelor” lead Nick Viall had to cancel his honeymoon after a series of unfortunate events.
Viall, who married Natalie Joy in Georgia last month, shared what happened on his podcast. It began with him misplacing a hat he got from Kimo Sabe. He left the hat and his wallet on the car roof when he drove off, and only realized this at the airport. Despite this setback, Viall still had his passport, so he could board a plane.
However, a further issue arose that led Viall and his wife to cancel the entire trip — after they reached Turks and Caicos.
“We’re on no sleep, kind of back-to-back nights. The agent stamps the passport, is about to hand it back, and goes, ‘There’s a page torn here,'” Viall said on the May 2 episode of “The Viall Files” podcast. It turned out to be Joy’s passport, and the agent informed her that she couldn't enter the country because of it.
The string of misfortune continued as Viall and Joy, accompanied by their daughter, River, and Joy’s mother, had their return flight cancelled. Eventually, they managed to return to the U.S.

Fans Reacted to Nick Viall & Natalie Joy’s Honeymoon Drama on Reddit
Many “Bachelor” fans felt terrible for Viall and Joy and expressed such on a Reddit thread about the cancelled honeymoon.
“Dealing with all that AND their 2 month old. Poor baby girl. Anyway, no honeymoon. They’ll have to plan something else, some other time,” one person wrote.
“Omg I had no clue if a page is ripped on a passport that customs wouldn’t let you through! That seems a bit absurd as long as the passport is legible there shouldn’t be a problem,” someone else added.
“Usually there are gray areas in the official rules, and it depends on who you’re talking to, if they enforce it. They probably just got very unlucky,” a third comment read.
Nick Viall & Natalie Joy Are Thinking About a Honeymoon in Puerto Rico
On “The Viall Files” podcast, both Viall and Joy expressed a desire to reschedule their honeymoon. They had talked about going to Puerto Rico, since it’s a U.S. territory and Joy wouldn’t have to worry about getting a new passport.
“We’re thinking Puerto Rico because I don’t know if we’ll have enough time to fix Natalie’s passport. And I just, and get back to why we did the honeymoon the way we did, we want it to be a honeymoon. We didn’t want it to be another trip,” Viall explained.
Viall was able to look at things with a healthy perspective.
“You know, this won’t be the most difficult challenge of our lives or relationship. You know, it was a nice little, to me, like, you know, being a dad or being a husband, it’s the opportunity to take care of your family. And like this gave me the opportunity to do that,” he said.
“So I’m looking at it as a gift and just a reminder for that because like, otherwise what’s the point?” he wondered.
