    If the main wedding expense is going to be in KL then I suggest you open an account there your fiance would have no difficulty paying money in from her Malaysian accounts and you could send money from London to that account in the same way as anybody sends money abroad

    That would be a terrible option to choose, better to use a currency broker such as Transferwise or take the HSBC option you've already mentioned where there are no fees for the transfer.
