hi Terpe,

Thanks for the info, all is under control regards the paperwork for the wedding etc.

I have already made contact with the irish embassy in london.

there is a 120 day validity period on the freedom to marry certificate, so I have already arranged with the lady at the irish embassy, to accept my papers now, and to wait until the start of 1st of October.

On this date she will then process my papers, allowing the freedom to marry certificate to be valid beyond the date of the actually wedding which is taking place on the 15th January 2015.

I will be preparing the application for the freedom to marry certificate tomorrow with the help of my fiancé who will be on Skype. Once it's printed off, I will then get a signature from a solicitor on our legal team at work. and submit the application form along with the payment.

Thanks for your support Terpe, but i think I'm ok.

Thank you for continuing to guide me along the right path.
