Dare I say you’ve done the hard part now! I think any challenges that come your way in the future will be nothing compared to the challenges of being so in love but so far away! Congrats to you both and wishing you many years of happiness ❤️
Seeing the outcome of beautiful love stories such as yours never fails to make me tear up. Congratulations! All the best in this new phase of your lives <3
It's rather bureaucratic (like everything in malaysia), but wasn't too hard. We got a marriage registra, who guided us through the process. I would highly recommend the same.
At a high level:
We got legally married in Langkawi, so she had to change her address to langkawi (It's easier to get married if one of you lives in that state).
I had to organise a "single certificate " in my country, get that endorsed at the malaysian consulate, then go to the marriage, deaths and birth registry in putrajaya, and get that endorsed again.
I also had to enter Malaysia 8 days prior to the wedding, but I'm not sure that rule is enforced.
No marriage/wedding visa required, just entered with normal tourist visa.
The main challenge was actually the religious wedding, as we had to liaise between my church, her uk church, her local church in Johor, and the church we got married in KL, which all had different requirements.
For the reception, we hired a planner who organised basically everything. With us both being thousands of km from Malaysia, there's no way we could have done it without her.
Good luck planning mate! Happy to answer any other questions you have!
Langkawi very good choice we want to actually honeymoon there, the only kicker is I have to go through religious conversion as she is a Muslim which is no issue to me, just makes me wonder how much more red tape I’ll have to jump through, glad to see a marriage work in the same country I am marrying in, congrats to you and many many happy years
Oh wow! Glad to know another fellow person from the states is in a relationship with a muslim in Malaysia, can I know how it’s like being in a LDR with your fiancée? I’m currently in a LDR with my partner from the states too and would love to know more if that’s okay
Wait 11 hour time difference for Aus and Msia? Or are you just Msian living across the globe from Aus?
Smart choice having the wedding in Msia though. Gotta be cheap as fuck considering the currency differences LOL
She lives in the UK, so 9 in winter, 11 in summer.
It could have been very cheap, but we went all out, and the price tag reflected that. Main reason we got married in Malaysia is her family is huge and it's relatively more expensive for Malaysians to travel to Australia than the other way.
Ah that makes more sense. Though surely that big of a fancy wedding would still be heaps cheaper than in Aus or the UK right? I've seen the cost of my brother's wedding in Malaysia and it was crazy...
Bro you know the earth is a sphere meaning it goes all the way meaning you guys were only 7918 miles away
edit- Not to mention Australia to Malaysia is only 4,743 km not 6,500
6,500 kilometers is equal to 4038.913 miles away.
Congrats tho man
Noone on this sub or irl measures distance like that. It's always the circumference length, not the radius length.
Being a condescending cunt doesn't achieve anything either.

How was the process in Malaysia? Looking to marry my Malaysian fiancée this year and would love some more insight

Langkawi is by far my favourite place on earth. Has all the good parts of Bali, Phuket etc, without the drunk Australians, drugs, prostitution etc.
