Whether we like it or not, our wedding is kind of a destination wedding because most of our guests must travel and stay for several days to attend the wedding. Though the location might be far from exotic, we do hope you’ll have a great time at our wedding nonetheless. That aside, we also want you to make the most out of your stay in Medan and have fun ;)
