From Bali to Butuan: This Wedding Ended Up Closer to Home

Alex and Liane initially planned an intimate wedding of 30 in Bali, Indonesia. With the pandemic restricting travels, they found themselves back to square one in their wedding planning. But a heart that loves knows no limits. Alex and Liane spent their special day with two ceremonies: a civil wedding in the Hall of Justice in Butuan City, their hometown, and a wedding blessing officiated by a Pastor, where Liane’s dream of walking down the aisle came true. Although there were only 10 guests who are physically present, the livestream made it possible for 72 people from all over the world to witness their union! Indeed, it was a wedding day even more heartfelt and beautiful than what they originally planned it to be. These photos by Bahandi are enduring reminders that truly, home is where the heart is.
