Thanks everyone for your response. Although taking BC is mouth watering, I think I will leave it for now! I will move to India and do adoption.

Why don't you go for a private ceremony? You will get more flexibility via this route..
Also you are saying that they don't have anything for the next three months.. Everything is booked already?? Or they just take reservations for the next two weeks only?
