Hello, I am a US citizen from Missouri engaged to a Canadian citizen from Ontario. We plan on getting married in the US in October, but have not made any solid plans because we are just unsure if we need to contact a lawyer. Can we just get married in the US, keep doing long distance and save up for 1-2 years, and then hire a lawyer and start the process? (I know this has the potential to take years and years, but we just do not have the finances to start the process now). Either way is there anything else we need to know?
