Thanks guys! I'm just sitting here waiting for movers to arrive!

We are leaving tmrw morning. I'll let you guys know how it goes!

Trailmix is right, I'm not nervous or superly excited? I'm 'all business'! Lol'! I think once I cross, I'll breathe a sigh of relief! Right now it's kinda surreal :)

My fiancé is here, so it is nice to finally be together! Mind you we will be apart again for my two week Disney vacation but that's not the same :)

Nice to know that the 'apart' stage is closing in LOL! Yeay!!!!!

My movers are already an hour and a half late!!! It's also raining!

And I've already chewed off my finger nails on one hand waiting for them!

Haha! They'd better hurry, only 4 fingers left, and I'll be forced to start on my toe's!!! Haha!

Ps. Did I mention my 'crew' fiancé, mom and mom's BF all went to breakfast! Lol'! Sure wish I had coffee to go with these nail clippings! Haha!

Wow, I can't believe your moving day is TOMORROW! I am SO excited and happy for you! I wonder how I'll be feeling the day before he moves here. *sigh* You are such a lucky woman to be truly starting your "new life" tomorrow! Two weeks at Disney is nothing... expecially since you'll even be in the SAME country!!! Congratulations!!!

Okay, I've been doing some investigating about our application for our Marriage License. I JUST noticed that he needs to have a SSN for the application. OMG! Okay, so, he's supposed to wait about 2 weeks before he goes in to apply for the SSN. How long does it take to get the SSN?

Now, I'm freaking out. He's comeing over on 6/22 and there's only 26 days before the wedding. BUT, the county office where we have to apply takes forever to get the license back for the ceremony.

Hi July,

Are you certain he HAS to have one? As I was also asked for my SSN but I explained I don't have one, and they just skipped over that question.

Hi July,

Are you certain he HAS to have one? As I was also asked for my SSN but I explained I don't have one, and they just skipped over that question.

Yep. :(

3. The following is required of both parties:

a. Valid driver's license or state ID showing current address.

b. Birth certificate or valid passport. (If passport is used instead of birth certificate, full names of both parents and the state or country where they were born must be provided at time of application.)

c. Social Security numbers of both parties pursuant to MCL 551.102.

AHHHHH damn.... That sucks!! What if a Canadian couple wanted to go to Detroit to get married, LOL but in all seriousness, it may be tight.... he should go ASAP to the SSN office and explain the importance of obtaining the # right away! Also you don't get it on the spot, it gets mailed to you which takes another week or so.... I hope he gets a normal clerk, some of them are really dumb when it comes to issuing immigrants SSN #'s.....

Okay, but if we wait the 2 weeks for when he comes into the country and he goes to apply, can they at least give him the NUMBER???!!! We can wait on the card! lol

The number is issued in Maryland where the SSN head office is, I believe... So I'm not sure it can be given on the spot. One can always ask!

Here is the worst case scenario I can see: You don't get the marriage license in time for the July wedding. No one really needs to know, but you two! That is your wedding day, document or not! Then when received, you quietly go and have it made official. I know that would suck, but that's WORST case!! Hopefully that won't happen!!

But, that affects his insurance (joining onto my account). Which we wanted to get before we went on the honeymoon... just to be one safe side for the things we want to do (parasailing, ziplines... 6 hour 1-way plane flight).

OMG... I think I'm going to go stir crazy with this!!! I thought I'd looked over everything!!! I knew I'd miss something somewhere. Damn, and the thing I goof up on has to be HUGE.

Oh bloody hell, insurance is important. Never thought of that. Well what I would do is don't wait 2 weeks for him to go to SSN office. Go like 5 days later, and be armed with the evidence so he's not given a hard time. Will post in a minute the evidence I'm referring to
