HONEYMOON PARADISE LOST

Groom-to-be John Mason not only had to cancel his splashy nuptials Saturday – he was also forced to can an expensive luxury honeymoon on the idyllic Caribbean island of St. Lucia.

Runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks and her hubby-in-waiting were supposed to jet off Sunday to St. Lucia to stay at a plush resort – which Mason had been keeping a surprise for his new wife. Their destination was Windjammer Landing, a 56-acre tropical resort boasting spectacular ocean views where a honeymoon suite costs $370 a night, sources said.

Instead, Mason had to make a call Friday to cancel the trip.

The travel operators involved had not yet decided if Mason would get his money back, sources said.
