Vivian made it here on Wednesday, tried on the dress Thursday, and we were married Friday. Here are a few photos.

We'll pray for him. It's kinda like that with my youngest sister too. She didn't get sick but she cried a lot and didn't speak much to my then fiance. Tell him you'll always be there, you'll call or video chat, and you will visit asap when you can, and that he needs to be healthy again so you and the family could plan another day out when you and your husband visit again.

I know it's tough to be away from the family but you'll always be there for them. I had a hard time leaving too. Like what my husband says, "It's never goodbye. It's see you soon."

And congrats Warren and Vivian!

Eslem is here finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We still haven't gotten married but we are enjoying each other's company IMMENSELY We are planning a big outdoor wedding next spring but we are going to do a small civil ceremony in October! I'm so happy that everyone is being united with their loves..Eslem arrived a week ago and i was a nervous wreck waiting at that airport..but the moment I seen him-white chemise, black dress pants and shoes and his carry on bag-will be a moment I will never forget. I felt like I was falling in love all over again <3

We're so happy for you Holly and Eslem! Enjoy planning the wedding and the fact that you'll be together now, no distance to worry about again.

Congrats to all of us, we deserve it I think!! -- and my best wishes to those of you still interviewing/waiting for visa!

It's hard to believe Mikko has already been here almost a week! He arrived last Friday, and POE in San Diego was very straightforward, only took about 45-50 minutes from when the plane landed. Had a great first weekend, and immediately bought a large smart TV (since I only had a very very old standard tv from 1990!), so he could spend some time while I'm at work watching TV. His belongings are being shipped from Finland, but that will take a few weeks, so in the meantime he's got the necessities and is settling in fine.

Only downside is that, as often happens, he caught some bug on the plane, and he's been quite sick for the past couple days, fever and cough and cold. Nothing needing a doctor, and it's getting better already now, but it kind of put a damper on the excitement (and intimacy!) levels for a few days. I think it's almost passed now, so we'll have another good weekend!

We retrieved his I-94 online, no problems there. Next Friday we'll go to the Social Security office and see if we can get his SSN -- hopefully that will also go smoothly. Wedding is scheduled for October 25, but that may have to be pushed back a week or so, since we're still waiting on the lawyers to finish up our pre-nup, so that's adding a little stress just waiting for them!

We've been exploring his interests in the area (local shops and things) when we have time, and we'll probably try to get a library card for him next week. After he has SSN, we'll try for a California state ID (maybe not allowed until after AOS, but we'll give it a try!), open a joint bank account, and various other things, so we still have a full schedule of things to be thinking about .... but it is SO MUCH BETTER to be here together every day and just relaxing in each others' company!

How do you get the I-94 online?

[Em&Stephanie 3]

Nevermind, I googled and found it. I had no idea we could do that! I'm so glad I read your post!

Congratualations and enjoy planning the springtime wedding. My parents were with me to welcome Vivian 'home' and she was extremely happy to see them there. Unfortunately my camera didn't capture any of the photos my mom took. But there will be the memories of it for all of us.

eeeek. i love her dress! y'all are a beautiful couple

Thank you and she looked awesome in the dress!!

I'm about to edit the Engagement Pictures we took few days ago. We decided not to hire the photographer so we can use the budget for the AOS. I'm glad we took the decision

[Kumi and Drake 14]

That's okay! We didn't hire any photographer too due to us deciding to just keep it to a minimum budget till we could afford a bigger wedding celebration.

Hi Guys I am so happy to hear everyone is doing great! we got married Aug.27 and now we are super busy with trying to get the visa for his mother, as well as finalizing the religious wedding in December, and getting everything ready for AOS. My husband is getting adjust to Houston, however he is sick at the moment :/ But I am so glad we are together now. CONGRATULATIONS on everyone for the wedding and for the upcoming weddings as well. Now we need to file for AOS so it would be great if we could help each other out as well.

eeeek. i love her dress! y'all are a beautiful couple

Beautiful!!!!!! love the dress!!!!

[Kumi and Drake 14]

Oooh gosh. Well, hubby wasn't able to get the full time job he liked. The manager said they can't take one more due to Obamacare. /sighs

On topic though, yes all of us should keep each other updated regarding our AOS processes. That way, if any one of us needs help or advice, we could all help out.

We could create a facebook page for this group. Those that are interested could join it. It would be a private page where only members would be able to see the content.

Is there any interest in this?
