Hey y'all,

I didnt want to start another thread, so I figured I'd just post my good news in here.

Well, today I set a date for mine and Brian's wedding. I called the probate court this morning to get more info on the marriage license, then was told if I wanted a ceremony to make an appointment with the magistrate judge's office, so I did. The big day is for Tuesday Novemeber 20th!!

The woman on the phone was telling me about the prices for the license and if we were to go to marriage counceling, that it would only be $16, without the counceling, it's $51. The ceremony is $25 on weekdays and $300 on Saturday. So I saved a bunch taking the Tuesday appointment. It's $5 for each copy of the license, so I'm getting 2. So my grand total is $86!! and I don't even need a SSN. Just a drivers license, which I don't have, but the woman said my Visa will be good enough. We figured we'd have everyone come over to the house afterwards for a small get together, but with it being so close to Thanksgiving, we're going to wait until the weekend after. Most of our friends will have a hard time getting to his house on a Tuesday night with it being a work night and all, so we can wait to see everyone. I don't know what we're doing about a honeymoon. Maybe he'll surprise me lol.

Well thats it. Just had to spread the good news to the world lol. ;)

I think I'm going to take a break from VJ for a while. All the negativity is bringing me down. It's even crept into the Canada Forum. :(

Ahhhh! don't go krikit!

I hear ya Krikit...I've taken a break too. I would hate, REALLY hate, to see all the negative ####### from the other forums leach its way here. This forum is like a haven.

VJ can be grim at times, but for the most part us canucks try to remain positive!! Just ignore the negative people as much as possible!! Don't feed them anything to get them started,lol

Aye, us Canucks are some of the most polite ones on here. If not for the Canada forum I'd have my account disabled.

Glad the wedding is all set!! I venture into OT every now and then just to amze myself on how rude some people can be!! I try to give people the benefit of the doubt-ie, maybe their understanding of the English language is a tad off, being sarcastic, etc! But some just want to tick others off, why, who knows!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

We'll probably be having our wedding on that day or the next, as well. Just want to get the approval from the consulate before making any final moves. I can get the license without Kristy and without a SSN for her. Just have a three day waiting period, so I'll be getting the license next week, which is $20 since I'm a resident, and the minister that did our "wedding" will also do our "marriage" now for another $25.

It's weird that I feel the need to tell you what I'm doing in my life, but here's what's happening. I will be driving back to Canada on Friday. We've just purchased a new car so my Mom has bought our old one. (Quite a good deal given the exchange rate and the cost of the same car in Canada.) My parents were supposed to be coming down to pick it up but their plans have changed and now we're delivering it instead. I don't mind. Once you get past Savannah it's a peaceful -- and scenic -- drive. It'll be a short stay, though, because hubby has to get back to work. Even though he has weeks of comp time available which he has to use or lose (so I guess it will be lose instead of use this year.) Anyway, we'll be flying back out of Buffalo on Tuesday so I'm looking forward to the experience of travelling with a greencard this time.

Congratulations on the upcoming nuptials Mary and J&K!
