To get married I needed a valid ID which I didn’t have, passport expired long ago and consulate wouldn’t renew it unless you go back to Ukraine. 2 years ago I found
out that they start extending expired passports without living the country so I applied and got mine few month ago. We did plan to get officially married, and go on the proper honeymoon which we never did, but it wasn’t a priority at all, after living together for 20 years you kind of forget about the fact that it’s not official.
