I'm hoping to be out there soon, and then joined by my wife and her daughter - my step daughter. Originally, my wife's ex and the fatehr of teh girl, objected to the move and said he didn't want them to go? Could he cause problems? He seems to have calmed down a bit recently, but he is very anti - islamic and a bit of p!ss head so mouths off quite a lot - I'm sure he could be very obstructive if he chose to be.

But on a happier note - good luck with the proposal mccgirls.:thumbup:

We were in New York a few years ago and my girlfriend kind of proposed to me then, although I didn't actually realise it. We were eating in Planet Hollywood, it was Feb 14th, and she got up to the DJ stand, dedicated a song to us and said ' Third Time Lucky? ' as I've been married twice before.


I don't know for sure but I would say yes it is the same for KSA, you will need his permission with legal endorsement. I know KSA is stricter in general than here so I would check that you can sponsor her if she isn't actually a blood relative. You know what they are like over such matters. Adoption is actually illegal according to islam, so adopting her won't be of any use either. Too many people don't look into this side of things before making a move. Ask your employer the procedure.

Lawyer's office. Pre-nup contract that's bullet proof. If he won't sign, let him walk....

Dd you know that traditional etiquette dictates that if a woman proposes on 29th Feb and the man turns her down, he is supposed to buy her a silk dress?

Could be a handy way of getting a new frock. :D

Now which woman would accept silk as adequate recompense for scorn???

I meet all the wrong kinds of gals, clearly...
