the title of this blog may give you pause. You may think, wait i thought they got married back at the beginning of August?! Wasn't that what the white dress, and the service and the big party was about?? And wasn't that celebrated again on Sept. 16th?? Well you would be right in that thinking, but until yesterday, Oct. 15th, our marriage hadn't been registered with the province. Yep that's right, it takes 10 weeks to fill in a few blanks in a marriage license that's already on file with the province. But all is good -- now we are recognized as married by the province and the papers are in the mail to us! Soon I will be able to finish changing my name on the rest of my documents, and more importantly, we have the last piece of paper (almost) that we need to send off our visa application.
So next steps:
We're heading to VA on Wednesday (oct 17th), so we won't be here when our documents arrive. But we're going to be leaving our visa package all read to go with the exception of the marriage license with my (Melissa's) parents so they can pop everything in the mail for us while we're away.
Once everything has been received, we'll get notification of that, a file number (so we can track stuff online) and notice of what we have to do next. There will probably be an interview at some point (we think in Montreal) and who knows what other hoops to jump through... but at least we're (almost) one more step ahead!
