~July 2007 K-1 Filers~

Alright, I just quickly made some search and here is some of the stuff I found:

Registration of your Civil Wedding Abroad

United Kingdom

You cannot register your civil wedding abroad at a registry office but you can apply to have an original or a certified copy of your marriage documents sent from the consul of the district where your wedding took place to the General Register Office. Note: if your marriage certificate needs to be translated, translations must also be sent along with your certificate.

In order to do this, one of you must be a British Citizen and the original document cannot be released after it has been deposited.

Once your documents have been deposited with the General Register Office they can issue you with certified copies of your marriage certificate which will save you from having to contact the overseas authority each time you require a copy.

For further information you can contact:

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office

I don't wish to stir the pot (all right, I do ), but in what manner is a pizza a pie? surely a pie has SOME sort of cover, generally pastry, but sometimes potato (shepherd's), and sometimes meringue (lemon meringue)?

*pedant since '72*

Ahhh - not necessarily as in lemon meringue pie... See... now if you are talking about sweet pies... those are better than savoury... although I prefer cheesecake

@babbles - gratzies again!! I can't wait to read the review... I am still hunting for it

@Marta - thanks - that is really helpful! I've bookmarked it so I can check it out once we have the paperwork filled in

LOL! you're such a numpty! The review is in the UK interview thread. I even wrote an oscar visa acceptance speech and included you in my thanks!

I wish I could cite a source, but I remember back in high school learning that the term "pizza pie" was coined in New York because of the way it was cut into slices like a pie. This is unlike Chicago style and (if memory serves) Italian style, where the pizza is simply cut into squares.

*vessel of useless trivia since...well...for a long time*

Of course not all pies are covered. I think the term pie is used because of the bottom crust or layer that acts as a mold to keep everything together. Whether that's toppings, pie filling or whatever. Pecan pie has no top. Pumpkin pie has no top. So, are they not pies? I think most everything that is made round and cut into wedge slices can be considered a pie. Just my thoughts.

I recently watched a program on the history of pizza on the History Ch. And it went back hundreds of years and they never said pizza was cut into squares. All pizzas were cut into wedges. And some were even made smaller and simply folded over or rolled and eaten like a burrito. But yes, the first time pizza was called a "pie" was in a New York pizzeria.

I take your point about pecan and so on, Jason - even without pointing out that I WAS mainly being tongue-in-cheek, it's a good point

however, I still don't think pizza fits into that definition - the dough is a BASE, and doesn't come up the sides, like all other pies, and the toppings all sit on TOP... if you need to, you can make pizza on a flat tray, and it will still come out alright; you can't say the same thing about pumpkin pie and whatnot

Ladies and gentlemen...VJ's first ever PIE CONTROVERSY!

Man...even controversy is better with pie!

Hi everyone. We have visa in hand and are flying in a few hours to Las Vegas. Finally we will both be at home in the USA. Next the AOS hurdles. Somehow i am much more patient and calmer on those hurdles. I think it will be much easier doing them being together and living instead of being apart and on hold. I hope all the july filers we started with are close to uniting as well.

[rae_and_scott 1]

Listen people, the debate is over. Scott says during our chat:

pizza is a pie.

...

there's no question about it.

...

it's technically called pizza pie.

So really, people, there's the offical word.

And congrats Chris & Gretchen.

Hahaha. I didn't mean to sound so serious. I'm sorry. But, hey, haven't you ever had a deep dish pizza? This is most certainly a pie. And the dough used for a pizza and a pie are basically the same. But I do see what you mean. So, who knows? maybe we're all wrong. But its a fun topic anyway.
