Dear VJers!

You've all been so helpful through this whole process! Thank you so much! God willing, we are drawing near a close to our K1 process! Only one paper left to send to the embassy (unless they want more, which is always possible). But we're being very optimistic and we've entered a contest to win a free wedding reception!! The date is set for October 2012, but if things take longer, the Golf Club who is hosting the contest is willing to work with our unique schedule.

Lovely VJers, could you take a minute to vote for us to win our wedding reception? With the costs of immigration, it won't be possible otherwise. Just follow this link and vote on Facebook. You can vote every day through 11/29 and we'd really appreciate your support. VJ has helped us down the path to being together again, and VJ can also help put the icing on the cake! Thanks for your time and your vote!!
