Hello!
This is a venting post lol. Has anyone else dealt with a cross-boarder marriage and specifically with someone who is divorced!?
So my fiance is from Connecticut and we have worked for the same company for several years; the best part is we both used to work in the same department which involved lots of travel back and forth so it was great. For a long time we did the long distance living and finally 2 years ago, my fiance accepted a director position at our Canadian office so he moved here a year and a half ago which was always the ultimate goal anyways; It was honestly a perfect story how everything came together .
Now that we are engaged, trying to get married here has just been so hard! He was divorced a few years ago and to legally get married in Canada, we needed to obtain his marriage certificate and with COVID, we had to send his brother to the CT filing office because if he went there, he wouldn't have been able to return (he doesn't have his PR card yet), have that sent to us and get everything approved by service Canada in Thunder Bay before even trying to get a marriage license. We then find out the filing office made an error on the documentation so we had to call them to change everything which was a nightmare. The hurdles have been crazy, lawyers appointments, extra documentation, then we were missing a form so it was denied now we are back to the lawyers ... ugh it's been crazy. This whole situation is obviously new to us so it's just been a roller coaster.
Everything is just moving so slowly too and we did postpone to next year but we want to legally get married this year. I'm hoping everything works out.
Vent over.
