Planning a destination wedding? Before you start your wedding planning timeline, make sure you read this first! You’ll want to make sure your overseas marriage will be recognized by Hong Kong Law.

Step 1: Check if you can legally get married abroad.

According to the Hong Kong Law, a marriage this is celebrated and solemnized outside of Hong Kong in accordance with the laws in force at that time and in that place, is recognized as a valid marriage, similar to a marriage conducted and registered in Hong Kong.

What in the world could be more spellbinding than this, a romantic escape in the jungle? Nadear and Andres’ pre-wedding shoot feels so much like a sweet love story that takes place deep within the jungle.

The two love the outdoors and enjoy exploring beautiful, remote places. Hence, choosing Four Seasons Tented Camp as their engagement destination was perfect. All their shots are extra breathtaking, too–think unending greens, a serene river, and lush flowers all around you! As much as I’d like to tell you all about it, come and see all the snaps taken by KT Merry yourself.
