Good morning - I'd like to introduce myself

[ssbib]

Hi Phil, I met my wife online initially and then went to the Philippines to meet her and her family. We married there (2009) and then made arrangements for her and my step daughter to join me in the UK. Yesterday we celebrated 7 years of married life So we have been through all the process of getting married there, getting visas, ILR, British citizenship and UK adoption. It's been a long but worthwhile journey. Welcome to the forum. there are plenty of people on here to offer help and advice.

Thanks for welcoming me. How did you find organising a wedding in the Philippines and then the visa process afterwards? I am so nervous for all that but I am glad i have found this forum to help guide me.

Ours was a civil wedding (before the judge in a court) so very easy to arrange. If your going for a church wedding then obviously more difficult but you could hire a wedding planner. It will be considerably cheaper than a church wedding in the uk.
