UPDATE

Got our date yesterday!

Choose the Gown. :dance::thumbs::energy:(L)(F):luv::wow:

Reserved the Restaurant.

Started inviting guests. :secret:

CONGRATULATIONS!!! If the Urkrainian weddings are anything like the Russian ones you'll have lots of fun - the tamada and games beat the US wedding singers any day.

I did an overseas wedding but it was in Moscow not my wife's town. It's funny because the ZAGS in her town said that since I was a foreigner we had to get married in Moscow. I guess each ZAGS and country is different, like someone said above. It was very cute since there's only one ZAGS in Moscow for foreigners, so it was neat to see all the international couples. Of course I did not see a single Russian man-foreign woman couple.

For the 'not currently married' document, at the US embassy in Moscow the officer asked for no proof, he just signed the document for me. He even made a sarcastic comment that 'yeah, I don't know why the Russians think we can verify whether you're married right now, but they ask us to sign this silly document, and since we don't want to impede your marriage, we just sign it.' So even with the US embassies I guess YMMV when it comes to the proof required for these documents in the different countries. dry.png
