    Mutharika tied the nuptial knot with former minister Callista Chapola Chimombo last Saturday at a colourful ceremony in the country's capital City in Lilongwe.

    The report quoted State House Press Officer Albert Mungomo saying that Mutharika and the First Lady had been offered a honeymoon at Sharma al Sheikh, one of the tourists destinations in the country.

    However, Mutharika who is currently on a holiday in the country is yet to make a decision on the invitation.

    Mutharika's wedding was attended by several heads of state and government which included Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe.

    The wedding was a centre of attraction in the southern African country which saw the couple use a state of the art brand new Limousine during the officiating.

    Mutharika and his love engaged on February 14 - Valentines Day - before the wedding.
