I ask the question as she is coming to England in December so given how long it takes for authority to be with me granted, I dont want her to have to send the forms off before Christmas.

Getting married in November would be perfect as we are at her grandparents 96 and 93 and it will be first time in many years her children, sisters, and other family memebers will all be there at same time!..

But if it doesnt work out there is always next year but I wanted her grandparents who are getting older to be with her.

Do other concur with me on this?

Thanks in advance.
