With seeing two failed marriages on here where the wife only spent a very short time in the UK that backs up my argument.
more important than living in the UK, is seeing if you can live together for 6 months , but maybe some would be carried away with the excitement of your g/f being in the uk, the pressure of arranging a wedding, that problems might not be seen until after your married and your 'honeymoon' period is over.

also that's only 2 marriages out of xxx on here, and one of them, you could ask whether she was just using him.

but most marriages seem to work out ok on here, not many posts on here asking about divorce, remember two in five British marriages end in divorce, the highest rate in Europe, but many on here have not been married that long yet..
