Well quite a mixed bag of replies, but most fairly predictable. Thanks to those who have offered genuine advice, even if it was contrary to my intentions. I am aware of the risks involved, but as those of you who have been in love will know, it is more powerful than common sense, legal questions or any other man-made obstacle. I will be patient, marry my fiancee when she is 18 and apply for a visa then (or 21 if the rules change). Good luck to all of you and take care.
