Where and When

The traditional wedding ceremony and reception are scheduled for April 9th, 2025, at Griya Taksu in Gianyar, Bali.

Gianyar is about an hour drive from popular tourist areas like Nusa Dua, Kuta, and Canggu, though traffic can be a factor.

The entire event will last approximately 8 hours and will include multiple ceremonies, performances, music, and plenty of delicious food and drink.

To assist with logistics, a group rate has been secured for the hotel Wyndham Tamansari Jivva Resort Bali, which will also act as a central hub for the occasion.

Transportation

On the day, transportation will be arranged between Tamansari Jivva Resort Bali and Griya Taksu at the start and end of the festivities.

Additional shuttle services will be provided to and from Wyndham Tamansari Jivva throughout the day for guests who may need a brief respite from the celebrations at Griya Taksu.

Kids

A kids' corner will be arranged at Griya Taksu for our youngest guests. Professionals will be available to assist parents in caring for their little ones if they need a break. Parents are required to retrieve their children at the end of the event.

Dress Code

The dress code for the day is traditional Balinese attire.

For men, this means a simple shirt and sarong, paired with comfortable sandals or thongs. Remember to pack a short-sleeve shirt and shoes; sarongs will be provided.

For women, the outfit consists of a traditional Kebaya shirt and a sarong, also paired with comfortable sandals or thongs. Remember to pack your shoes; the rest will be provided.

Outfit pick-up:

On April 8th, a private fitting room will be set up at Hotel Wyndham Tamansari Jivva. A variety of Kebayas and sarongs will be available, and the team there will assist with outfit selection and provide any necessary instructions or assistance.

We've tried to make sure all information is accurate, but we're only human (and really don't care enough). If you spot an error, let us know, but we aren't going to fix it. If you've made it this far, congratulations! But why are you still reading this? There are more exciting things you could be doing. Like planning your next vacation. Seriously, this is a waste of your time. Do you read the terms and conditions for everything? Kudos to you, detective! Maybe you should take a break, grab a coffee, and relax. If you're just looking for a hidden message or Easter egg, there isn't one. Or is there? You could be learning a new language or starting that novel you've always talked about. If you've ever wondered who the real bridezilla is, surprise! It's Christian. Yep, he's got more opinions about the best fabrics for napkins than Dina does. Still here? You're persistent, we'll give you that. Have you considered taking up a hobby? Knitting is supposed to be quite relaxing. If you're reading this out loud to someone, they're probably questioning your life choices. You could have watched an episode of something by now. Maybe you're an insomniac and this is your bedtime reading? Sweet dreams. You're either very thorough or very bored. Either way, we appreciate your dedication. Is there a secret prize for reading this far? No, but now you've got us thinking. This disclaimer is longer than a novel. Perhaps we missed our calling as authors. If you're this dedicated to reading fine print, we'd love to hire you as our official contract reader. Wondering if this is ever going to end? So are we. Our website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the content of those sites. If you click on a link and end up on a website about llama grooming, well, that's on you. We value your privacy. That's why we don't track your every move. We're not Google. Rest easy knowing we don't care about your browsing history. Please RSVP by the date specified. Failing to do so may result in severe FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Plus, you don't want to miss the free food and open bar, do you? Wondering if you'll get an award for reading all this? Sorry, no trophies here. If this feels like a marathon, don't worry, you're almost at the finish line. Have you tried meditating? It might be less painful than reading this. Imagine all the snacks you could have eaten instead of reading this. Go treat yourself. You must really love fine print. Or maybe you're just really, really bored. If you're still reading, we might owe you a drink at the reception. The dress code for the wedding is traditional Balinese attire. That means sarongs and kebayas, people. If you show up in jeans and a t-shirt, the staff have been instructed to use force. Your presence is the best present, but if you insist on giving a gift, we have a registry, just ask. Cash is also accepted, because who doesn't like cash? Feel free to take photos and share them, but please tag us. And remember, no unflattering angles. We want to look back at these photos and smile, not cringe. Also, keep your phones and cameras out of sight when the professionals are around. We don't want weird photos or videos with people holding their phones in the air trying to take photos. Child care is available. We love your kids, but let's be honest, you could use a break. All guests are encouraged to dance. Even if you have two left feet, just go for it. No judgment here (except for the robot dance, that's a bit 80s). If you're giving a speech, keep it short and sweet. Embarrassing stories are allowed, but remember, Keep it PG-13. If you have any food allergies, let us know in advance. We'll do our best to accommodate, but if you're allergic to fun, you might be out of luck. This disclaimer is probably longer than our nonexistent vows. We like to be thorough. Need a break? Grab a snack and come back. We'll wait. If you're still reading, you're a real trooper. Or very, very patient. By now, you've earned the right to skip ahead. We won't judge. Feeling a bit like a legal scholar? You've read enough for a degree. Kids are welcome, but you're responsible for them. If they start a food fight or try to sabotage the cake, it's on you to deal with the aftermath. We will be serving traditional Balinese food. If you're not familiar with it, now's the time to expand your culinary horizons. There will be options for all dietary needs, but if you don't like spice, proceed with caution. Enjoy traditional Balinese dancers at the reception. Feel free to join in, but beware: their moves are harder than they look. If you end up on YouTube, we take no responsibility. The theme of our wedding is Bali in the 1920s. So if you feel like time traveling, this is your chance. Just don't expect any flapper dresses or jazz music. We're keeping it authentically Balinese. If you hear Christian's family have a lot of animated discussions, don't worry, it's just how they talk. Dina and Christian met in 2012 at university. They started dating three years later, and after seven years of dating, they finally got engaged. If that sounds like a long time, remember: good things come to those who wait. And those who put up with each other's quirks, like Christian's tendencies. If you have any questions about these terms (though why would you?), feel free to contact us. We cannot promise to reply.
