Congratulations to you both! Well done! :thumbs:

I wish we were past that point too already... :clock:

The world around you gets hazy and the only thing you focus on is you and that person. And for that one moment you've been given this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry at the same time because you're so lucky you've found it and so scared that it will go away.

GREAT!!!! Congratulations!!! What a relief it must be to be at this point!

And thank you for telling us all about how it went at the Embassy. I just got off the phone with my fiance and I read your post to her. Hopefully she'll have her interview sometime in July. She gets a bit nervous about the interview so it was good for her to hear how yours went and that the interviewer spent more time asking about your parents than about your relationship (not that that would be a problem, but it does show that it's a bit relaxed and not a grilling).

Thanks for the posting and once again, :thumbs: Congratulations!!!!!!!

The more you love, the more you lose a part of yourself, yet you don't become less of who you are;

you end up being complete with your loved ones."
