In Season 2, Episode 3, Mike and Rhianna make a visit to Niagara Falls, Canada the ‘Honeymoon Capital of the World’ to celebrate what better than their wedding anniversary. Mike and Rhianna along with the 8 crew members, a representative from Tourism Partnership of Niagara and Hornblower Niagara Cruises marketing employee boarded the boats with high hopes for filming in the powerful mist. During the filming aboard the boat the two chatted about what better than his career, their family and how amazing the boat ride and seeing the Falls up close. Among their conversation and selfies the couple tried so hard to keep dry but the beast of the waterfall couldn’t keep them, the cameras nor the crew dry. After experiencing #InTheMist Mike stopped to sign a big fan’s autograph and a few pictures from Canadian fans themselves.
