As with every couple planning to get married or dreaming to get married, searching for THE CHURCH is often a hard decision. Things such as availability, location, even the interior of the church matters. For me and my fiancee; despite living in the little red dot and being in a foreign land, searching for a Church to exchange our vows were not as hard as it seemed and turned out to be quite the adventure and I learned a bit of trivia about each as well.
