2. Parties to the Marriage have Met
Generally it is impossible to get married to a person whom a person has never met but there are certain circumstances where persons never see their spouse and yet they are married to them. The British Diplomatic posts do NOT take these circumstances as an exception to the general rule and is quite keen to see evidences in place regarding the meeting of the parties to the marriage. The possible evidences of this factor are
* Marriage certificate itself some times mentions the presence of the two parties to marriage.
* Marriage Pictures.
In addition to the above, the entry clearance officers do ask questions relating to this issue, to make sure that the applicant has really met the spouse. Most frequent questions are: the place or time / day of first meeting, where the marriage ceremony took place, close family members of the sponsor and the like.
that's why i think it should be physically when you met, but i don't think they would reject your app just because you put virtually thru the inet, as they can work it out from your evidence (marriage cert, pics etc, as long as you have physically met you should be ok
i think i put both dates down, so long ago i don't remember
