Oh that screen is lovely.

Kath, do you mean what we call the "checklist" form, which isn't really called a checklist form, that you sign and send back, (I forgot to make a copy of that actually) or the front page of the pack that tells ya what to bring, that we get with packet 3 to say what documents we need?? there is stuff on here in the "guides" section too about what we should have with us and in what order. Sorry if I am missing exactly what you mean. Can't remember a form you actually tick off.

Stella.

Oooohh, that all happens with me and Andrew too, type the same at the same time "snap" and so many spooky things when we first met on the net. We have the same taste in most things too which is very unusal for both of us. Fairytale stuff. And although Andrew and I are mungrels as far as heritage, we both feel very stongly for our celtic heritage. I also have some gypsy and Andrew is part cherokee so we pretty well have nature based spiritualty. We are having a traditional celtic handfasting. Maybe the gods gotta do all this convincing cause one of us has to pick up and pack up their lives as they know it, to be with the ones we love. Yes we both feel blessed too, to find such a connection.

I'm sure you got it all sorted Kath. I made a wonderful file with all the added stuff, evidence of ongoing relationship, all the documents he sent copies of with the petition, his divorce papers etc etc didn't even get to unzip that folder with all those organised tabs etc. Had bought an A4 sized plastic box to hand in all the stuff at the first counter in order. That was a brilliant idea I had, no pulling things out of sleaves etc. But guess what I forgot, that dang envelope. Well I guess I thought I was going there to not even have an interview. Well lucky I didn't need it on the day. Really Kath I think you will only have to hand in that bunch of documents from the packet 3 instructions and you got the best evidence, Robbie there in person. Just don't forget they keep any original documents if you don't also have a photocopy of it. Then after sighting the original they just hand it back and keep the copy.

Ooohhh was that a moan I'm hearing all the way from Melbourne (F)

lol stella

ya know what stella.. this is amazing .. my robbie not only is a quarter cherokee his ancestors are celtic..hence the druid things

and back in 2003 on my first visit we did such a ceremony yes a handfasting...it was the most emotional everlasting experience i have had ...you see traditionally a handfasting was performed because in days gone by there were no priests to do the weddings.. and it is from the date of the handfasting that a year an one day if u so wish to stay together as man and wife you do so.... ohh stella ya gotta go to our website it is all there..we did it traditionally .. like wearing the stones for some many days..the choosing of the colours of the ropes to correspond to the colour of your tartan...the gift u give each other he gave me his tartan cloth i gave him a hand made handkerchief with our initials and the date...also we chose a colour of a candle that we thought best represented ourselves...his grandaughter was one of the goddess's and she blessed the rings and untied the rings to give to us...stella it is such a romantic ceremony ..but it also depends how deep you go into it .. our was traditional we had his son in law who is a druid priest perform the ceremony.. we looked upon this as our promise to each other that we know we belong together an one day we will be man an wife...

my first visit to the states

damm we got quite a bit in common huh lol... my family background is english but i do have ancestors from scotsland and roberts ancestor was rob roy..on his dads side...

he could chat your ear off about this stuff mate.. he is so knowledgable about it all..
