If you are in United States and your fiancé in India isn't it expensive to use FaceTime? 

Nope. It works the same as WhatsApp, it uses data or wifi and not network minutes. We even FaceTime audio sometimes if the connection on Whatsapp is bad. I've never had a problem with being charged anything extra for it in the last 2-3 months since we've both had iPhones.

I understand now, we both have iPhones so FaceTime is another possibility thank you what a great idea😊

The Utah-Vegas connection is strong around here, lol 

Yup! Add me to the list. I grew up in Las Vegas and my family moved here to Utah when I was a teenager. As for my fiancee and I, we'll do a court wedding quickly after her arrival just to get the official paperwork nonsense out of the way. Then we'll have a show ceremony for my friends and family, and her friends that are already here in the States.

We kind of have the same "problem".

Our options are:

Courthouse Virginia Beach
Beach, Virginia Beach (unlikely, since it's later fall)
Las Vegas, biggest giant wheel in the world (my fave hehe)

My family is in Germany, my friends are spread all over Germany (so it would be a pain to gather them even if we'd get married here), his family is in Utah, his friends in Virginia Beach.

So most likely we're going to try pick up his parents and sister and do a road trip from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas. 

Since it's too expensive to gather everybody/fly all in.... why not get married in FL on the beach and make a party later?
I think everyone will understand, in consideration of the circumstances. At least in our case people do understand.

 

We're also choosing the courthouse wedding because of the small amount of time that we are allowed to get married and as much as possible, we want to finish all the paperworks during that 90 days period   We'll just have a church wedding here in the Philippines in the future where my family and relatives can join as well.

 

As for the wedding celebration, we're still talking about if we would choose to have a small gathering 20 people (that will be very practical in terms of saving money, time and less stressful in preparing) or invite everyone from his side that will reach 50-60 people that there's so much to consider (renting a venue, setting up the venue, hiring a caterer or have some of his friends help with the cooking, expenses). For me, I don't mind having a small gathering or just the 2 of us celebrating after the wedding but because we have a strong family ties in our culture its not inevitable to get everyone invited. For the most part, we're thinking about his mom who is very emotional/sentimental when it comes to family celebrations and milestones esp. he's the first one to get married in their family that's why we cannot have a "no celebration" option.

4 weeks don't sound that bad to me

My fiance has a little bit over two weeks vacation a year, so sure that makes visiting hard to plan so it's worthy. We are planning on him coming after I have my Visa on hand and hopefully coming back together to the States to start our new life together finally

Good we don't care about big weddings so no need for a lot of preparation and also won't have a honeymoon. It's simply impossible in terms of time.

I bet saying goodbye after 2 weeks is hard too! Just a short amount of time to spend together then you have to wait for another year to see each other again.

This is the reason why I have a high respect for couples who are in LDRs. The true test for patience, trust and faith!

I don't know that anyone is running scans right now but the processing page on here does some approvals for February along with various from Jan and Dec still.  It's a mixed bag but we can be happy they're into February at least somewhat
