"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

I would think they just want to know if the marriage pictures has more people and near relatives than merely you and her. Few people around the wedded couple makes it more realistic and yes, you can fill in the details if they persists and ask. But you should be fine as long as you dont necessarily relate them about your in-law's initial behaviour. I dont think you want to add this if all is fine now. And I hope it remains so forever.

Best of luck.

Big Congratulations to you and your entire family. Happy reunion and cherish the initial start of your life together by doing something memoriable. You both deserve the best. And yes, thank you very much for the interview experience. Very glad that you shared it with us, I will send these to my wife immediately as we hopefully prepare for an interview. Take care,

He then asked hubby a few more qs:

Where was ur wife born? What’s her DOB?

Why did u guys decide to not live here? Whose decision was it to choose America over Lebanon?

Why family wasn’t all present at the wedding?

How many times she came to visit you, will she come back?

Does she have family here?

Asked how we found e/o? Who found the other ( I did!!)? How come he didn’t find me or try to call me or write to me all these years.

If u don’t understand ask 4 q to be repeated

Demanded hubby speak English.

Asked about my divorce and ex’s nationality.

Saw my facebook page cz hubby said we found e/o on fb.

He asked hubby what time I go to work and when I come back. Wanted to establish if hubby knows my routine.

The CO did not even want to see my 2008 taxes!!! He only asked to see a copy of the police records and hubby’s original birth certificate, individual registry (Lebanese equivalent for ID) and family registry.
