Why Spain?

So many people have asked us "Why Spain?" We think the honest answer is "Why not?" Most of our relationship, we’ve travelled to far flung lands and so it seemed only fitting to “tie the knot” abroad. We also kinda wanted something neutral as we're from different countries and our parents live in different lands. But still, why Spain, and why Andalucia?

We just love it. And we just love the Spanish way of life. It's chilled. (So are their cervezas, yum). They have naps when the sun is too hot. Let's face it, with 3000 hours of sunshine a year just in Andalucia, this is a necessity.  Then there's the tapas and the olives and the olive oil. There's the passion in the people who are known for their fiestas, flamenco and love of life. It's the birthplace of the guitar. Its a melting pot of cultures - the village Iznajar where we are getting married is one of the oldest Moorish settlements in the world. And it has rolling hills of beautiful countryside, exquisite carpets of silvery olive trees, row upon row as far as the eye can see. No wonder it has inspired writers and painters like Picasso and Ernest Hemingway. Just like it has inspired us, and we hope it will you too.
