What is important as you will find out as you read the websites.
Is
You need to be able to support both of yourselves for the imediate future i guess though a mixture of income and savings as is normal for most people in the UK.
You need to have adqueatue accomdation for the both of you.
You need to prove that you have a loving and genuine relationship.
In december when you go make sure you have lots of pictures of you both together and with members of your girlfriends family and her friends. Keep records of your contact as mentioned elsewhere and also make sure you both realise what your letting yourself in for.
Its a long tough and testing path for a couple in a long distance relationship and its not plain sailing once in the UK.
Yor Wife will need to settle into a different culture, deal with homesickness and bulid a new life.
In the year since my Wife has been in the UK.
we have had to sort proof of address, opening bank accounts, find her a job, get a ni number and get her a schgen visa so she can vist europe phew.
Im not trying to scare you just let you know that its a tough journey but one worth doing
