We met in France about 4 years ago (January) while I was a student and he was there on business, and have been happily dating ever since. We lived in France for two years, and then he had to come back here for his job. Also because France can drive you nuts after a while. So I came with him for 90 days, and then had to return to the UK and get a job. For the next two years, I was back and forth between here and the UK, and Chris visited me at every possible opportunity. His boss wondered why he was so keen to take all the contracts in Europe, and now he knows! It was to see ME! :)
We have spent a lot of time together and a lot of time apart, so we've been through some tough times and a lot of painful experinces while I was stuck in the UK and he was here working, and then we came to the point last summer where Chris decided to get on one knee and I almost peed my pants. Then there was the whole K1 application, me in the UK again and him here, the agony of all the waiting, and the terror of the interview and medical. Then I got it, and got on a plane 24 hours later, just made it here for Christmas with him and his family.
Now we're about a month away from our wedding, and I can't believe it's finally happenning! I just wish all this Embassy stuff wasn't so complicated and scary; I'm trying to enjoy our engagement, and this stuff is getting me down. As ever, Chris is an absolute babe and is so supportive and helpful, but we need help with this stuff and it'd be nice to know somebody else is this stressed too!
