I am probably getting married in August. It will take around 30 days for the paperwork to go through; so if I file it in July when my vacation starts it will be ready by August. I still don't know how much it costs to translate your vital documents though, so if it's a lot I will wait until my cat has been spayed to get the papers finished ( Read more... )

awwww. congratulations. i want to send a wedding gift (because my friends are getting married?!?) but idk what to get. what would you especially enjoy. email me at gcalle05@src

but one of my favorite things is to go on craigslist, men for women, and look at the desperate french men asking for american wives so they could stay here. they dangle the benefits of EU citizenship so it would be a pretty equitable trade.

Happy godless marriage of convenience to you! I would send you a toaster (or better yet a crock-pot), but I'm poor, so instead I'll send you a picture of a crock pot with love.

What's hypocritical about a godless marriage of convenience? That's what marriage is all about.
If it saves your employer money, you should make them pay you more in exchange for getting married.

I think the convenience of marriage is all too often overlooked by impractical romantics. I congratulate you on this very reasonable decision. I don't see how being a marriage of convenience should make it less of a marriage in any sense. Also, since you are in love, getting married makes sense and makes it sort of not just a marriage of convenience. I think you should encourage your parents to have a big party for you.
