Scarlett and Ryan flew guests to eco resort for wedding in 7 seaplanes

Yesterday when we reported that Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson got married in a luxurious ecologically-conscious resort on Vancouver Island, Canada, commenter Codzilla speculated that they surely flew guests there in a private plane and made more of an impact on the environment than they were able to offset. The only way you can reach that particular island is by plane, and Ryan and Scarlett did fly their 35 guests there in seven separate seaplanes, according to the National Enquirer.

Another interesting part of this story is that guests weren’t told ahead of time where they were going:

Approximately 35 close friends and family members were instructed to gather at a specific time at Vancouver International Airport on the wedding day, the insider revealed to the Enquirer. They were not told ahead of time where they were going.

They boarded chartered seaplanes – five to six guests in each of seven planes – and were whisked to a secluded resort owned by a friend of the couple on a remote island, outside of Vancouver off the coast of British Columbia.

“She and Ryan picked an island that was inaccessible by ferry.

“The only way to get there was by seaplane.”

But despite the big hush-hush, the couple succeeded in pulling off the wedding of their dreams.

“It was an absolute gorgeous event,” concluded the insider.

It sounds like Scarlet and Ryan picked that particular resort because they knew the owner, not because it was an eco-conscious resort. It’s certainly exclusive enough – rates for only three nights start at $4,458.00 USD per person.

Neither Ryan or Scarlett is particularly involved with environmental causes. Scarlett does charity work for Oxfam and has toured Rwanda, India and Sri Lanka this year. She did recently do a campaign to encourage people to recycle their cell phones.

Ryan drives a Prius though.
