the way i see it is you abide by and live by the laws and customs of the country you are going to live in... simple as that

im still deciding whether or not to take offence at this comment!!

It's now Amy, the American fiancee, writing!
First, I want to say to my Victor, I love you so much! <3 You're so amazing, Sweetie, and I know we'll be happy for all of our lives together! :-* We'll be together through all the joys and all the challenges in our life! I love you with all of my heart and soul, and our love is True Love! (L)
I of course must also agree with my wonderful fiance, Victor, about the fact that you can't judge a relationship based on length of time spent together or amount of visits before filing the I-129F. For one thing, not everyone can afford to travel so much. Also, getting to know each other is not just time being in person, it's communication. We communicate enough to know each other well and know we're in True Love. Furthermore, each relationship is individual, and sometimes people can spend years together and not know if they're right for each other or want to be married, and some people can know it very shortly after meeting someone. Before our 6 weeks in person, we had 6 months to get to know each other very well! One amazing thing I found about being in an LDR is the fact that communication, and very frequent and long communication, is a must! At least it is for us. We talk every day, no matter what. Neither one of us would feel right with skipping a day of communication. We spend a few hours every work day talking, and then on weekends we spend at least 8 hours on both weekend days talking, and at the end of these chats neither one of us wants to stop talking, but as Victor said we only stop chatting because he's 7 hours ahead and me and needs to sleep eventually.
People love to tell others how they should live and conduct their business, but not everyone fits into a little box, and not everyone is the same. Some people might feel they need more time to be sure, but some people don't require this time. Please don't judge the "mindset" of others, because it's not up to you to judge.
Me and Victor knew it was True Love very shortly after we began getting to know each other in the very early phases of meeting online. It's still True Love now, and will be True Love when we're in old age. And all of our friends and family can see how happy we are together, and how mutually crazy about each other we are....and as the old saying goes, you shouldn't marry someone you can live with, but rather you should marry the person you can't live without! And I can't live without my Victor! (L) (L)
