Believe it or not... the UK, hubby needs to be in the UK approx 3 weeks prior to postin' the bahns...or whatever they're called, apply for a fiancee visa...and although this'll be for 12 months duration you're expected to marry within 6 months...yeah...I know it sounds like bollox but that's the deal, for postin' the bands...yeah whatever!...you need to have booked the reg office...church...pub..club...or wherever you're gonna tie the knot...not....nott....gimme a break! Mebe I aint hit the nail on the head here...but I'm not far off. Call your local registery office and they'll let you know exactly what you need to do, once married he applies for a 2 year visa...he gets it...and you live happily ever after...as long as you keep the Rooskie Standard under lock and key!....pravda....poka!!!
