Went to their embassy in Knightsbridge on Friday armed with confirmed reservations for flight and hotel plus travel insurance and bank statements all in triplicate. We were then told all they needed was our marriage cert, my passport and Ligayas passport showing her spouse visa. Processing time will be around two weeks. Apparently if your hubbie is EU citizen they do not need all the other stuff. All done in twenty five minutes so loads of time for walk down to Buckingham Palace, a picnic in Hyde Park and of course a bit of retail therapy.

christmas markets in Vienna here we come!!!!
