Last weekend I popped the question to my girlfriend and now begins the journey of planning the big day.
My girlfriend and I currently live in the Netherlands but my family is in the US and hers in China (Shantou). After lengthy discussions we finally decided that we would have the wedding ceremony in Hong Kong.
The "official" wedding i.e. legal wedding will be done here in Amsterdam as it would be easier for us do work with the gov't here for appropriate paperwork but we will consider the wedding ceremony in HK as our official wedding.
Since we both aren't in HK, it's a bit difficult to begin the planning. We're thinking we'd like to be a bit traditional and get married in a church but we don't really know any churches. Another option would be to do the ceremony and reception in a hotel and we could bring my girlfriends preacher from her hometown (since we'll already be legal we don't need to legally be married in HK--just a ceremony).
Does anybody have any advice on how to approach this or can anybody recommend any churches or hotels? By the way, it will be a smaller wedding (I'd think 40-50 guests max.).
