I just received an invite to a wedding via a WhatsApp message. This is the brother of my other cousin that is getting married in Taipei in a few weeks. They both live in Shanghai, so it makes sense that the weddings are over there as well. I am not going to the Taipei wedding on December 23td but may go to the one in Bali on July 1st. However, they want an RSVP by December 31st. I guess they expect everyone to plan international trips that far in advance.
I am contemplating on going because I will be 100% retired by then. It may be a change to bring my parents to Malaysia so my mom can visit where she was born one last time. I also have a friend that lives in Bali. She worked for me right out of school for several years as a financial analyst. The wedding is being held at the Raffles Bali, which is one of the most expensive hotels I have seen. All the rooms are villas and start at over $1,000/night. They also have a wedding package. I saw elsewhere online that it costs $15,000 for twenty guests.
That will be a long and expensive flight from Los Angeles.

I found out about their engagement from an Instagram post. I think that was a few months ago so from engagement to wedding in about eight to nine months.
