We don't have a date set yet for a wedding, but it will be fairly far in the future. Right now we want to take the engagement slow and see how things go.

I'm completely in love and so is she. I'm the happiest I've been in my life since before my father died.

BTW, ATers are not allowed to crash the wedding. :p Only those invited can come get drunk. :)

Clearly there is uncertainty in the air...

We are certain we want to get married, but there are problems related to her visa and other things. Yes, we could get straight up married and there would be no visa issues, but we don't think that is healthy. We want this to be a normal and serious relationship even though our future is not 100% certain because of immigration.

We've been dating for over 5 months, and she is going to Bogota for 1 week in November and then coming back. On December 15th, I'm going to meet her parents (I've already met her sister and some other family), and we are all going on vacation to Cartagena (her parents, siblings, etc). Her mother is estatic right now, and so am I.

She is willing (and wants to) to sign a pre-nup, and we've little qualms with each other over our relationship. Our biggest decision is deciding where to live. She doesn't want to live in Colombia while I wouldn't mind it. She doesn't care for Bham so much while I like it. Overall, we will probably have to compromise on a 3rd place, but it is possible we will stay here and keep an apartment in Bogota.

She is not marrying me for citizenship. In fact, that's why we are getting engaged instead. We don't want anyone to think it is a marriage predicated on that. We met each other, fell in love, and we never carried about where each other was from. We've always realized that visa and residency would be a problem, but we've vowed to do it the correct and the right way.

There's no uncertainty between us as to our intentions and desires. However, we've got to make sure her University Credits transfer (or she will have to stay in Colombia for her final semester), and then work out visa information so that we can have a ceremony in Colombia and the United States when we are both ready.

We don't want to rush anything or make any mistakes. There's no uncertainty -- just precautions.

Are you engaged or aren't you?

I'm trying to figure out what this thread is for.
