Before your wedding planning started, a holiday was going to be required or a celebratory holiday was going to be required. It was stressful business announcing your engagement to your family, friends that Seokjin had said one evening that he needed a holiday just to recover.

Which is how you found yourselves on Jeju Island for a few days, to soak in the summer weather, to soak in the sea and relax. Or at least that's what you thought.

Now, you would have expected Seokjin to be nonchalant about the whole planning a wedding thing but he had already picked the colours he wanted to see, had found the cake that had caught his eye one day and then had found the ideas of going against a traditional sit-down meal and going for different food stations. If there was one thing he knew about, it was his food and his alcohol.

You already knew, sort of, what you wanted. Dreamy blues and pinks, hints of Jin's love of fishing, hints of your hobbies that you both loved which was gaming and then making it all about the food. A mix of different foods from around the world, a massive fruit station and then your wedding cake but a large dessert tiered option as well.

Now you had to find the venue but there was no rush, you had the ideas and the time and the money. It would all fall into place when ready, if Jin hadn't already found it.

He had been looking at hotels to stay in for your trip and found the one he had booked, mostly because it was secluded and the second reason was it would be a lovely place to get married. 

He had already seen the options on their website with a ceremony indoors and then a wedding outside in the gardens, overlooking the sea. And it could be intimate, which is what the two of you wanted.

There were plenty of people the two of you could invite and it could range in the 300 number but you wanted to keep it to your family, friends, their partners and then some other relatives outside of that.

This place would be perfect.

If you loved it, because Jin wouldn't go for it unless you absolutely 100% adored the place.

You two had checked in late in the evening and had dinner then gone to bed with the plan to get up the next morning to go exploring. 

After breakfast, Seokjin decides (cleverly) that he wants to have a look around the grounds and be generally nosy. 

So the two of you wander through the gardens, then at the building in the Aldr Garden and then onto the Ggotnang Garden with a small private house and gardens with a water feature.

All of it is gorgeous in the summer and the flowers are out, the birds are making their bird noises in the trees. Yet you say nothing. Hmmm, it may have to be back to the drawing board.

Without thinking much of it, the two of you go about exploring and return back to the hotel just in time for dinner in the particular garden that had caught Jin's eye, the Seaes garden.

"Jin," you say as you speared a piece of steak and dipped it into the sauce provided.

"Hmm?" he murmurs, a mouthful of noodles which makes him look like a hamster.

"Sorry." You chuckle as you wait for him to swallow his food then stare at the piece of steak before chewing on it.

"I want to get married here," you finally tell him.

Seokjin becomes quiet for a moment, looks around, and what he did next even shocks you. He stands up and does some kind of victory wiggle dance. 

"Finally! I've been waiting for you to say something!" He sits back down, ignoring the looks of the other guests and ignoring you for laughing at him. "We'll speak to their team tomorrow morning and get that booked. I knew I picked the right place when I found it."
