Nope.
Before all that, you need to get the dates fixed FIRST. It involves a very lengthy process between both sides (bride and groom's families), discussing and counter-proposing dates which works around other people's schedule (yep, YOU work around their schedule) and maybe factor in superstitious element of when the sun and moon think it's the best day to get married. Ok kidding, muslims can't be superstitious about those. Expect lots of hair-pulling moments too. Hope it's an easier process for you.
After the dates have been agreed, then you can start calling your dream venues and ask for their availability, in most cases you'd be lucky if they are. Also consider our tropical climate too - outdoor wedding is a bad idea during the monsoon season. Be practical.
All I wanted was a small intimate beach wedding before this.
Yep, I thought it should be that easy and straightforward. But obviously an outdoor wedding in December, the wettest month of the year isn't a brilliant idea. So my dream beach wedding and summer honeymoon have got to go. *sniff*
That was actually when the beginning of "compromise" for the rest of my life began (I freaked).
But after a while it doesn't really matter where you get married if you're marrying the man who makes you the happiest girl ever.
Till the next post, xx.
