Two men pretended to be on a honeymoon to enjoy hotel perks, but their plan backfired in an embarrassing moment.
Lately, two men pretended to be on their honeymoon to enjoy special hotel perks.
Ricky Liu and his boyfriend, Thomas, decided to try this popular travel hack while on a cruise in Vietnam.
They hoped to score free upgrades and extra treats, but their plan took an unexpected turn that embarrassed them.
Two men pose as newlyweds on honeymoon for hotel perks but encounter awkward moment
The couple’s journey began before they even boarded the cruise ship.
The staff warmly welcomed them and treated them with great kindness.
The crew members greeted them like newlyweds, setting the stage for their little lie.
Ricky shared their experience on TikTok, and it quickly gained a lot of attention, racking up over 14 million views.
Once they revealed their honeymoon story, they were upgraded to a luxurious suite.
The room was beautiful, featuring a circular bed decorated with rose petals and elegant swan-shaped towels.
Everything seemed perfect, and they felt excited about their special treatment.
Things took a funny turn during dinner.
The couple was surprised at how far the hotel staff went to celebrate their “honeymoon.”
Their dining table was adorned with rose petals, and a sign read “HAPPY HONEYMOON.”
The atmosphere was festive, but Ricky and Thomas started to feel a bit awkward.
The staff even organized a special moment for them.
Employees arrived at their table with colorful drinks, waving flashlights, as “I Will Always Love You” played.
This grand display was meant to celebrate their supposed love, but it left the couple feeling uneasy.

The couple feels very awkward because of hotel’s heartfelt attitude
As the staff celebrated, Ricky and Thomas felt the weight of their little deception.
They had not expected such an elaborate show.
Ricky humorously noted in his TikTok video that if they were indeed newlyweds, it would be a sweet moment.
“It was like okay, you’re on a honeymoon? We’re gonna tell the whole world,” Ricky joked in the video.
“We’re gonna make sure, if you lied by any chance, you feel the full weight of that guilt.”
“We are going to stop dinner so we can play some Whitney Houston so that if you actually got married, it would be a genuine sweet moment but if you’re fraudsters, you will feel like a really bad human.”
But since they were faking it, they felt guilty.
Ricky joked about feeling like “bad humans” for not being truthful.
A nearby couple raised their glasses in congratulations, adding to Ricky and Thomas’s awkward moment.
Despite the embarrassment, Ricky reflected positively on the experience.
When asked if he would do it again, he responded with a confident “Absolutely yes.”
The couple enjoyed the pampering, even if it came with a side of awkwardness.
“Look, this was fun at all, but would I do this again?” the young man asked in conclusion. After a moment’s pause, his verdict was simple: “Absolutely yes.”
Social media reactions
Comments flooded in on their TikTok video, with viewers sharing their thoughts on the situation.
