Our impending move to Dubai has forced our hand in more ways than one. In order to preserve our rights as a couple and as parents we must be married. We already feel married and don't consider that we could possibly be more committed than we already are with 10 years and 2 children under our belts. Nevertheless, sometimes it's necessary to play the game and follow the rules and if we're being honest, it's something that we should have taken care of a long time ago. So today found us registering our intent to be married at the (not so) salubrious venue of Maju Junction in the middle of Kuala Lumpur. Now, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's a shopping mall. In fact, you'd be absolutely right in thinking that it's a shopping mall, but a few floors up is the central registry office for KL. We submitted the paperwork (of which there was surprising little), and have been given the 16th July from 8-11 a.m. as the date and time of our nuptuals. We simply turn up (no jeans allowed!), take a number and wait our turn. I don't think that our Big Day is going to instigate a bidding war between Hello and OK for coverage rights, but it could start a trend; who can spend the least money making their relationship official - our marriage certificate will cost a grand total of 4 pounds 41 pence! Couples who pay together, stay together.....
