So, myself, Mr H, and his sister all turned up to the courthouse wearing Star Wars t-shirts.

They guy at the window said he'd give us the forms but we wouldn't be able to do anything for 48 hours. :( He asked if we wanted to see if we could fast track it but these things only happened for those in the military or were very sick. We took our chance. 10 mins later, we get called saying the judge was between court hearings and signed our wait waver. Woohoo.

 

We got married at 2pm. The registrar was impressed with our Star Wars clothing. Everyone in the building we encountered said, "May the force be with you". It's been super fun. No fills, no flowers, no fancy pants stuff... Just a couple of nerds getting hitched. 

 

Just come back from having lunch with his sister and he's now asleep. It's been a nice day so far. Going to go out later to get crab pretzels and frozen custard. 

 

Ahhhhh... Now back to dealing with USCIS 😂

Ahhhh, cr@p! 😂

This post is in my official Top 5 "Made me Smile and Tear Up a Tiny Bit"  :P of all posts I've ever read on this site.

 

Congratulations again dear Lotts and Mr. H.

 

May the Force be With You, indeed.  And with everyone you love, forever.  :)

Yeah, we look like a couple of derpos. Not the  most flattering of pictures. I think we were still shell shocked they wavered the 48 hour wait... 😂 That and we were goofing around.

Quick check in to say that today was my fiancée's interview at the Auckland embassy. She said it was quick once they actually let her in, she showed up early and they turned her away the first time. Also, make sure you have your interview letter, she said that they were turning people away in front of her that didn't have it. She said that when she actually got to talk to the CO, he only asked a few basic questions, what I do, how we met, how I proposed (she said she gushed about how cute it was, I'm dying from mortal embarrassment cause I was jetlagged and I dropped the ring and gave up and was just like 'uhhhh....so.....wanna get married? I mean, if you want? it's cool if not! No pressure or anything!'), things like that, then asked if she minded answering about if it bugged her that I was married before, and to a man. She explained that no, it didn't, that she and I both knew we were bi before we ever started dating, and that was it. She said she was told by the CO that she was 'approved but that's not an official answer as per rules' and she'll receive her stuff in 1-2 weeks, and that'll be when she knows for sure, and that her medical expires in October, so she'll have to be over before then. I'm nervous, from what I've read a lot of people are given an approval at the time of interview, but I don't remember really seeing any 'yes, but it's not an official answer' stories. ::quietly panics in the corner::
