Since Manc brought up the subject of wedding anniversaries, I'd just like to know where you married, both country and location. I'm kind of curious...

At the time it you married, it was officially British, as it is now (for the moment). So, Gibraltar counts as British.

Married in Westminster Register Office in Central London. Took honeymoon some months later in Paris (France, not TX) after I-130 visa had been obtained for me.

Not into the religious stuff nor the wedding getup so I wore blue at my wedding

I voted for US church. Although we had a church pastor perform the ceremony, we actually got married in a cave! Well, we wanted something different and memorable to get married and spend our wedding night!

You can see a couple of pics here

Hinckley Register Office, Leics. My wife had to get 24 days residency in the UK before we could marry. We then had the wedding blessed in our church here in the USA. Still on honeymoon.

Default Re: Where Did You Marry Your US Spouse?

We were married in a courthouse ceremony in Kentucky (you can get a marriage license & ceremony performed on the same day). Our honeymoon was a manic flight up to the British Consolate in Chicago 2 days later to get my newly-adorned passport with UK Wife visa sticker (as Fed Ex and snowstorms don't go together), and 3 days later flew to the UK...

As easy as the paperwork was to get into the UK, it seemed much less painless getting hubby's spouse Visa!
