Hello. I am from Canada and my fiancee is from Belgium. We have
submitted our docs to belgium authority and we were told it takes about
4-6 weeks for them to approve. It has been 6 weeks now but no answer and
our wedding day is May 27 of this year. So just few weeks away but we do
not know if we can get married or not and we were told it is better not
to us the judge of the status of our application. What should we do
since we have everything planned out (preparations, i have airplane
tickets etc. etc). do you know any other european country that can
marry us without any problem?? thanks

Unless by "American" you meant you are Canadian, and thus North American.

LOL >>>
I split the thread from someone else's thread from last year that this poster tacked her message onto.
She is Canadian and apparently needs help in Belgium and doesn't know where to turn.

what does the above mean?
Have you contacted the agency in Belgium that is holding up your application?
There is nowhere in Europe where you can get married fast, to my knowledge. When I tried, the 'quickie' method in Scotland still took a few weeks to arrange.
