Changing the planned date of the marriage on the NOIM
A couple from America have gone gung ho and booked to elope in December. They have their heart set on coming into their wedding on a camel!
I advised them that this our 'wet' season and there may be a chance of rain and will need a plan B. However there is no plan B option for a camel to be involved....which is their whole motivation for getting married in this destination. The cameleer has advised them that they definitely need a plan B too. He has asked them potentially plan to have the wedding on 2 consecutive dates (28th and 29th Dec) so that if it is raining on the first date, they can do it on the second date.
I advised them that this isn't possible due to the NOIM limitations. Anyway I got to thinking, is it totally illegal to fill in 2 NOIMS - one for each date? I feel like this would be a no-no but I guess I want to satisfy my curiosity
