Faizan and Sana, from New Delhi, had looked forward to their dream honeymoon in Italy. But just two days before they were due to leave, they discovered that Sana had lost her passport.
They failed in their attempt to get a travel document in time, and so Faizan, a lifestyle and product photographer, decided to go on the trip alone, leaving his wife to grapple with Indian passport authorities.
But he didn't abandon her completely - he took with him a cardboard cut-out of her face, which accompanied him on long train journeys between Italy's fine cities, all the while taking selfies with it and chronicling the trip on Twitter.
Speaking from Pisa, Faizan told The Local @thelocal that Sana should get her visa on Thursday night (11th August 2016) and will be on the next available flight to Rome. She will then travel from the capital to join him in Florence.
