    I love this wedding thread. It's a year and a half since we got married but I still get excited about other people planning their day.

    We got married in the UK - in the Lake District. In fact the only reason we did the CR1 visa instead of the K1 was so that I could get married in the UK with all my friends and family there.

    The wedding was in the garden of a hotel over looking Windermere lake and we had a boat trip on the lake after the ceremony. I'd bought umbrellas for every guest in case of rain but people ended up using them as sunshades as it was so hot. (it had rained hard every day for the seven days leading up to the day, I'd been tearing my hair out!)

    We had a 'theme' cake much to my mother's annoyance but skiing was something that brought us together in the first place so I had this cake made as a surprise for my husband. The woman that made it based the little figures on us - that's his hideous red and black checked jacket he wears to ski - which everyone at the wedding recognised and laughed at.

    Love your cake!

    I was in the Lake District last June/July on holiday! Absolutely beautiful, I feel in love with it up there! What a wonderful spot to marry in!

    Poll: Troops oppose repeal of "don’t ask don't tell"

    If gays have the "right" to serve openly (act #######) what about those with cross dressing habits or gender identity confusion?

    When will they get to "Be themselves too?

    I sure hope we are not half-stepin with these "civil Rights" advances.

    You can take anything to the extreme, and it's the same kind of arguments that have been used against gay and interracial marriage. "What's next, people marrying animals?" Please. Giving people the dignity they deserve doesn't mean the end of society and it doesn't mean the start of an absurdest slippery slope. We have many MANY fine soldiers and sailors who also happen to be gay. The only difference between them now and them in the future is that right now they're not allowed to actually say they're gay. It's time to get over this silly puritan bullsh1t and let people be who they are.

    Separate housing for men, women and now male and female homsexuals? The military budget is going go up again! No room for training facilites, it will all be base housing/dorms.

    Ummm...what?

    I am all for "loving" whomever you want (excluding animals and children!), so don't misunderstand please! All I am saying is they will have to all have seperate housing/showers etc. Have you been on the bases lately? They have closed many of them down and regrouped onto others, space is at a premium! Not to mention, (but I'm going to!) this goes against all the miltary budget cuts our troops and retirees have suffered through the last few presidents.

    I married the wrong sister

    in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits

    I don't know how many people have run into this situation before but here it goes anyway. So a couple of years ago I got married to this girl from the Philippines. I thought we were in love but found out that she was just really good at manipulating people. Eventually I was able to file a K1, get her to the US, marry her then find out she had someone back home. I had that marriage annulled for marriage fraud. So I go about my business dating other girls. But now, I end up with her sister. Eventually I do want to bring her over. My question is will their relationship be a burden to my petition? Also, will I have to send a copy of my annulment papers with the K1 petition? Has anyone run into this before?

    HI...IT SEEMS UR SITUATION IS VERY COMPLICATED. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU. DO YOU THINK THIS SISTER OF YOUR EX-WIFE REALLY LOVES YOU AND WILLING TO MARRY YOU FOR REAL? ITS NOT NORMAL FOR A SISTER TO MARRY OR BE WITH HER SISTER'S EX-HUSBAND OR EX-BF...NOT UNLESS IF THEY ARE KIND OF GAME OR LIBERATED, AS WHAT WE CALL IT. AND DON'T YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS WHY THIS SISTER COMMIT TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU WHEN SHE KNOW'S U WERE THE EX-HUSBAND OF HER SISTER?....SOMETHINGS NOT REALLY RIGHT.... IM NOT SAYING U BREAK HER UP...I JUST HOPE THAT WHEN YOU MARRY AGAIN, U WILL FIND THE RIGHT ONE AND NOT JUST SOMEONE WHO WILL MARRY YOU FOR SOME PERSONAL INTEREST OTHER THAN LOVE...COZ IF THATS THE CASE...YOU BOTH WILL NEVER BE HAPPY. GOODLUCK...

    :bonk: What the???? The OP asked for immigration advise not your take on his ways....

    oh, and please DO NOT TYPE IN CAPS. Bad netiquette.

    Bad netiquette???....

    Hmmmmmmmmmm.....etiquette u mean...i dont care. What i said was just my opinion... M.Y.O.B

    Nope - netiqutte is the correct term! As we are on the internet. :thumbs:

    A cowboy named Bud

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in California when suddenly a brand new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.

    The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, 'If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?'

    Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, 'Sure, Why not?'

    The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra high resolution photo.

    The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany

    Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

    Finally, he prints out a full color, 150 page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP Laser-Jet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says, 'You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.'

    'That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,' says Bud.

    He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man puts it into the trunk of his car.

    Then Bud says to the young man, 'Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?'

    The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, 'Okay, why not?'

    'You're a Congressman,' says Bud.

    'Wow! That's correct,' says the yuppie, 'but how did you guess that?'

    'No guessing required,' answered the cowboy. 'You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about cows... This is a herd of sheep.

    Now give me back my dog.

    Man Wants Ex to Pay for Donated Kidney

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    (Jan. 7) - When they were married, a New York doctor gave up one of his kidneys to save his ailing wife. Now they're getting a divorce, and he wants it back.

    Dr. Richard Batista said Wednesday he is suing his estranged wife, Dawnell. Since he doesn't really expect her to return the kidney, he is demanding $1.5 million in compensation instead.

    Batista claims his wife had an affair.

    "There's no deeper pain or betrayal from somebody you loved and devoted your whole life to," he told a news conference at his lawyer's office in Garden City on Long Island.

    Batista, 49, who works for Nassau University Medical Center, said he gave his kidney to Dawnell Batista in June 2001. She filed for divorce in July 2005.

    I think all cars should be equipped with the straws, if you're drunk or "buzzed" you won't be driving! It should be as mandatory as sealtbelts.

    But that's just my opinion!

    We just got the straws in Illinois this year. I see homeless folks and teenagers will make some good money from blowing to start cars.

    That's one reason I don't think mandatory units in cars would work...there's always a way around it.

    The other reason is because there are so many other drugs, besides alcohol, that can cause an accident...with a device for each one, you car

    would look like a mobile hospital...and you'd have to start blowing into stuff 10 minutest before you want to start the car.

    I know there's hardship cases where these drunken idiots need a car when they're sober...but I don't think they deserve the right to drive after a DUI

    accident.

    But I'm glad there are stiffer penalties for drunk drivers.

    You have sober homeless peoples and teenagers up there? :wow:
