Darren .... you are TOTALLY correct.

You merely have to say ..
"After xxxx has arrived in the United Kingdom, we intend to get married as
soon as practically possible" ..... end of.

This nonsence about sending details of church hall bookings, menu cards, ring
receipts is exactly that ..... NONSENCE.

... and before others "comment" .... we got our fiance visa in 4 weeks 2 days.
So if you can beat that, then I'll listen... otherwise not.
