Alright, I just quickly made some search and here is some of the stuff I found:

Registration of your Civil Wedding Abroad

United Kingdom

You cannot register your civil wedding abroad at a registry office but you can apply to have an original or a certified copy of your marriage documents sent from the consul of the district where your wedding took place to the General Register Office. Note: if your marriage certificate needs to be translated, translations must also be sent along with your certificate.

In order to do this, one of you must be a British Citizen and the original document cannot be released after it has been deposited.

Once your documents have been deposited with the General Register Office they can issue you with certified copies of your marriage certificate which will save you from having to contact the overseas authority each time you require a copy.

For further information you can contact:

I found it here

Hope it´s useful

I don't wish to stir the pot (all right, I do ), but in what manner is a pizza a pie? surely a pie has SOME sort of cover, generally pastry, but sometimes potato (shepherd's), and sometimes meringue (lemon meringue)?

*pedant since '72*

Ahhh - not necessarily as in lemon meringue pie... See... now if you are talking about sweet pies... those are better than savoury... although I prefer cheesecake

@babbles - gratzies again!! I can't wait to read the review... I am still hunting for it

@Marta - thanks - that is really helpful! I've bookmarked it so I can check it out once we have the paperwork filled in

LOL! you're such a numpty! The review is in the UK interview thread. I even wrote an oscar visa acceptance speech and included you in my thanks!

I found it!!!!

I wish I could cite a source, but I remember back in high school learning that the term "pizza pie" was coined in New York because of the way it was cut into slices like a pie. This is unlike Chicago style and (if memory serves) Italian style, where the pizza is simply cut into squares.

*vessel of useless trivia since...well...for a long time*

Of course not all pies are covered. I think the term pie is used because of the bottom crust or layer that acts as a mold to keep everything together. Whether that's toppings, pie filling or whatever. Pecan pie has no top. Pumpkin pie has no top. So, are they not pies? I think most everything that is made round and cut into wedge slices can be considered a pie. Just my thoughts.

I recently watched a program on the history of pizza on the History Ch. And it went back hundreds of years and they never said pizza was cut into squares. All pizzas were cut into wedges. And some were even made smaller and simply folded over or rolled and eaten like a burrito. But yes, the first time pizza was called a "pie" was in a New York pizzeria.

I take your point about pecan and so on, Jason - even without pointing out that I WAS mainly being tongue-in-cheek, it's a good point

however, I still don't think pizza fits into that definition - the dough is a BASE, and doesn't come up the sides, like all other pies, and the toppings all sit on TOP... if you need to, you can make pizza on a flat tray, and it will still come out alright; you can't say the same thing about pumpkin pie and whatnot

Ladies and gentlemen...VJ's first ever PIE CONTROVERSY!

Man...even controversy is better with pie!

Hi everyone. We have visa in hand and are flying in a few hours to Las Vegas. Finally we will both be at home in the USA. Next the AOS hurdles. Somehow i am much more patient and calmer on those hurdles. I think it will be much easier doing them being together and living instead of being apart and on hold. I hope all the july filers we started with are close to uniting as well.


Chris

Listen people, the debate is over. Scott says during our chat:
pizza is a pie.
...
there's no question about it.
...
it's technically called pizza pie.

So really, people, there's the offical word.



And congrats Chris & Gretchen.

Hahaha. I didn't mean to sound so serious. I'm sorry. But, hey, haven't you ever had a deep dish pizza? This is most certainly a pie. And the dough used for a pizza and a pie are basically the same. But I do see what you mean. So, who knows? maybe we're all wrong. But its a fun topic anyway.

WORST. FLAME. EVER.

henc

you guys are great


but rae, you can tell Scott to shut his pie-hole




(sorry, couldn't resist )

Pizza is an Italian meal...and they don´t call it a pie

And I also dare to say....the dough is different

OK I´m trying to imagine the dough on my tongue and what my imagination comes up with is...pizza dough doesn´t melt on the tongue at all while pie dough might

Next time I am around those two I think I should try it

I think we should all listen to Marta; she knows what she's talking about

(I agree actually - the Italian thing is the clincher, but the dough is markedly different... a quiche isn't a pie, and it ticks more boxes than pizza does
is it a sweet/savoury distinction?)

ETA: of course not; shepherd's pie, meat pie... momentary lapse

AHHH!! If you go to the K-1 spreadsheet there are little tabs at the bottom - one says K-1 and the other says AOS If you click on the AOS one you can see the stats as I have them at the moment I'll change it over so you can see that one first when the K-1 sheet is finished Or at least close to finished




Chicago Town?



YAY!!!! GRATZIES TO CHRIS AND GRETCHEN!!!



I totally forgot about shepherds pie and cottage pie... how about mariner's pie as well?!

completely random rant:

if you FILE in a certain month, that makes you a FILER

a FILLER is a completely different thing

thank you for your time

Unless of course you are filing physical files in a filing cabinet... in which case you may be considered to be a FILLER of aforementioned cabinet, while still being a FILER

I guess we are all FILLERS as well Considering the boxes we fill with our evidence at home

Congrats Have fun in Vegas

That actually made me burst out laughing.

But I would say quiche *is* pie.

Yes, quiche is a pie. Potpie is a pie. pie pie pie! Lol!

*head asploding*

now QUICHE is a pie?! oh, the humanity!

Now I'm hungry for pizza. And some pie.

I ended up having pizza yesterday; a VERY rare occurrence

I thought of everyone here and had a quiet chuckle

http://www.weebls-stuff.com/

Weebl and Bob like pie

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...toryId=88239845

I didn´t eat pizza or a pie or anything but we took some food to the beach yesterday when the sun was setting and it was so beautiful

Just stopping through so Jeraly can update the AOS spreadsheet! We mailed AOS March 4th, it was received in Chicago March 6th, the cashed our check March 10th and we received NOA's for all of the AOS, EAD, and AP dated March 11th! Just waiting on Biometrics appt now which many March filers are already getting!!! YAY!!!!

And I just have to say I was catching up on the thread and the pizza pie, and pie-hole comments made me laugh so hard I snorted....in public thanks

Embarassing yourself in public there?

Actually had a pizza today too cuz was doing lotsa the St.Patrick´s day stuff today and came back home tired cuz did a lot of walking so we didn´t feel like cooking...and somebody decided to start pizza a pie so I had to explain to them how it´s not a pie

Sara - have updated you on the AOS sheet Yippee!! I love our spreadsheet!! Does that make me really sad!?!?

I think it does... I've added some more names of regulars in this thread Will fiddle around with order when we have wedding dates and filing dates for everyone

I just ate some apple pie.

had a jobinterview today. wanted the job SO BADLY.
they stopped the interview when i said that i was not willing to work all weekends and holidays. *crying*

wow... they actually stopped the interview? That's kind of amazing. But you know, maybe it was a good thing. I mean, better than getting this job that you want really badly and then finding out they expect you to work your holidays and weekends, right? In a way, it's kind of better for them to be that honest up front.

Jason, I would like some pie. Did you have ice cream on it too?

It doesn´t make you sad cuz you are doing something you are enjoying doing and that´s always a good thing

P got his interview date!
April 25th. YAY!

@Tuscon chick, sorry about your interview, but again, it's probably better than getting the job and finding out later, right?

Congratulations on your interview date

Aww hun Just think - if you wanted the job *that* badly then you would have worked holidays and weekends. I think it is just something they do there - you have to say you will do it so they can write it into the contract and stiff you but it doesn't necessarily mean you would be... of course I might be wrong

Just think - I Know you really want a job right now but at least you can take the time for it to be one you will actually really like You'll get there *hugs*

Jundp - gratzies on the interview date! Have updated the spreadsheet - do you have a medical date? Then all I will need is your POE info when you know it

Hey guys, just checking in here. I found out this morning that our file was delivered to the embassy in Montreal this week Monday. I'm so relieved. For a while I thought it was lost. I was doing the DHL tracking thing and for some moronic reason it took a detour through Toronto (none of the other Montreal's have done that...I checked lol). Now just waiting on packet 3. Sheesh this is taking forever!

Sorry to hear about your interview TusconChick. Where I work people are asked to be willing to work weekends but it's never really required. Never heard of an interview being stopped cold like that though. That's really weird but probably a good thing. Just keep your chin up and the next one will go better.

Jeraly, just noticed your wedding date! love it...8/8/08! I was hoping for 6/7/08 but that's a slim possibility now. Any date is going to be just fine with me as long as he is here

Has Audrey been around this thread? I haven't had a chance to catch up on my reading and my computer is going super slow today.

well - i asked how often i would have to work weekends and holidays, because i was wondering if it was only an occasional thing. turns out, it would be EVERY weekend and holiday.
damn it.

Ala mode! Of course.

Sounds like you were applying for a restaurant job. or even a hotel/resort job. I work in a nice restaurant, and fortunately we have a large enough staff that we dont have to work holidays if we choose. However, it tends to be great opportunities to make some serious cash. So, I'm slut for holiday pay.

(note: I hope my choice of word didn't offend anyone )

i was applying for a management training program with a major insurance company though.

I'm totally offended by your use of the word "serious."
