getting married abroad w1

10 years in e decidimos dar o no. No fuss, so nos os dois. Escolhemos uma bencao budista na Thailadia. 

Começamos por decidir que queiramos fazer algo especial para celebrar o nosso aniversário, num sitio especial. Casar em Portugal até podia ser, mas ter de lidar com stress da família e ter de agradar a gregos e a troianos nao estava na mesa, por isso, decidimos que seria mais apropriado para nós fazer uma cerimonia a dois.  O destino: Phuket, Tailandia. Marcamos 3 semanas de ferias para incluir casamento e lua-de-mel; escolhemos o tipo de cerimonia numa agencia especializada; perguntamos a minha irma se ela queria ir e ser nossa testemunha; compramos os voos, os hoteis e as aliancas.

O nosso dia foi assim:
10h00 pequeno almoço no hotel
11h00 maquiagem, cabeleireiro, vestir no hotel
13h00 cerimonia no templo
15h00 almoco piquenique na praia, fazer praia
19h00 Jantar e drinks
