Our plan is to get a courthouse wedding ASAP, but then to hold a ceremony later on when we've had plenty of time to plan it.

Yep, what I SHOULD have done... LOL Too late now! I guess for some reason I wanted to keep my stress level up. :bonk:

Today's drama is that I have no shoes. I left them in the store at my final fitting and they can't find them. Ugh. I guess it's a good thing I noticed today and not Sat.

We're waiting until she's here before we start making any real plans - but we do seem to be planning to have one of her male friends as a bridesmaid and the girl who initially introduced us as a groomsman.

We're not overly big on traditional social roles. ;)

Plus, well, one of my goals in life is to make things more surreal and mentally challenging for everyone.

Happy Wedding day for yesterday Patty!! I look forward to hearing the details when you come up for air! :star:

Thanks! It was a wonderful day. I could not have been happier with the way everything turned out. The wedding was outside in a park so we were very concerned about the weather but we woke up to a beautiful clear sunny day. Whew! About 60 people attended. Everyone was so happy for us, knowing what we went through to get to this moment. It was so hard not to cry as I walked down the isle, seeing all our family and friends and seeing the big smile on his face.

I'm looking forward to relaxing and enjoying time together. Not looking forward to starting on the AOS package. lol

First of all, congrats Patti!! What a relief to finally be married! :D So happy for you!

Sorry that I haven't been around at all lately but I went to visit my fiance for Christmas and New Years and couldn't log in for some weird reason. I'm back now, and finding it absolutely miserable without him. Somehow it's a lot harder to cope this time than it was in June when we knew we'd be apart for even longer :( Anyway, I'm now getting the last bits together before sending package 3 back to the London embassy, also need to book my medical this week. Hearing some depressing things about how long the London embassy takes to issue an interview date though so not feeling good at the moment. I really hope this won't drag on past March you guys :( I'm in need of a pep talk...

Mine was not notarized, however you should check with your consulate. There are different requirements for each country.

I wont lie to you, the closer you get, the harder it gets. I was going crazy the last few days before he arrived. But once you are finially together all of the stress, loneliness dissapears. Now it seems like it really wasn't that long. All the work, stress, time apart was all worth it.

Just keep busy and things will go faster than you expect.
