A day after longtime couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie tied the knot at their French Chateau, the two are set to enjoy their honeymoon as well as work in Gozo, a Mediterranean island near Malta. Their big brood of six kids have also tagged along.

After eight years of waiting for a honeymoon, the couple have no hesitations about shelling out tons of cash to spend the family milestone in private. Hellbent on maintaining as much privacy as possible, a source shared that the couple paid over $200,000 to local business owners to leave the island during the shoot. The shoot is scheduled for two months.

"A lot of people have agreed to leave the island so that they can have privacy to film the movie. The set is being built there to recreate the French Riviera," the source shared.

Many of the scenes for the movie will be shot near Kantra, a small beach area with immense cliffs. The couple and their children will be living in a 100-foot boat during the shoot and, are expected to move in, this September.

The source shared that the boat is a beautiful, classic yacht. "It will hopefully allow them some privacy and some time to explore and enjoy the beautiful surroundings," the insider added.

Coincidentally, Pitt also filmed his movie "Troy" around the area.

The couple's wedding ceremony over the weekend was done in secret. Only 22 guests, including their six children, were in attendance. Jon Voight, Jolie's father, was not invited.

But after the ceremony, the actors immediately went back to work, with Jolie heading off to Malta and Pitt flying to England to promote his upcoming World War II movie, "Fury".

Despite the good fortune Jolie and her family have, she continues to bring the Syrian situation to the spotlight."Three million refugees is not just another statistic. It is a searing indictment of our collective failure to end the war in Syria. UN Security Council Resolutions are being ignored; war crimes are being committed on a daily basis and regional countries are staggering under the human burden," the 39-year old actress shared.
