Hi,

I joined this place last year but forgot about it until recenly.Glad i came back as the information has been so invaluable to myself and my fiance.

Anyways im from ireland and my fiance is from new hampshire.She has been living in ireland since december 2003. She moved over for a job that was originally meant for London. I met her a month later in a pub and we fell in love after a rocky start :dance: and 2 years later here we are. She has been the best thing to ever happen to me. I love you lots (L)

I proposed in a small town called newburyport in MA in september and we are getting married in late april. The wedding will be irish/american tradition. 40 members of my family in ireland and the UK and my brother in austrailia are coming to the wedding which is really exciting. In total there will 150 at the wedding.

Finally its only 13 days till we depart for the states.We are soo very excited. My fiance is excited about been home and close to her family and im excited as its a new exciting challange for us both.

If it doesnt work out in the states we can move back to ireland as we bought a 3 bedroom semi in galway last year so thats a start. In saying that are determined to make a go out of it and we have a great network of friends and family already.

Thats my story in a few short paragraphs.

Finally i would like to thank any member of VJ that has responding to any of my threads.VJ is a great resource and i have recommended it to a few people in similar situations.

love the irish./.welcome

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

You're like the third Irish/American couple who met in a bar. I love it :)

If I were in Ireland I'd probably never leave the freaking pub.

Welcome to VJ! You'll love it!

Finally finished with immigration in 2012!
