So, yeah...I'm Married!
Alright, y'all aren't gonna believe this, and I won't blame you, but Johanna and I have figured out a rather interesting way about some things. ;-) I got the idea from my Aunt, actually, who joked to me about having an online wedding. Well, obviously, we wanted everyone to be at the ceremony, so why would we do that!? However, I got to looking at it, and looking at the whole visa situation we are in, and some other stuff, it's actually a whole lot better for us to get married through Singapore and then just have an extra ceremony for all you guys over here!
So, about a couple of weeks or so ago, Johanna contacted the Registry of Marriage in Singapore, which is the place that does all the weddings there. They make you go through a civil ceremony and then go through the regular one later if you want to. They were initially hesitant to do the whole marriage over Webcam, but once Johanna showed them evidence that we had met before, and the like, they decided to go ahead with it if I could get them some papers sent over. Well, I sent them over right away, and just a bit later, we said our vows via webcam!. Thank goodness for wireless accross most of Singapore! That means that we are now officially married! Hah! It's a weird feeling, and it's kind of all in reverse, but that's okay. We're thinking that Johanna will come over here quickly once she wraps up some things at work and we can have our honeymoon here while we are planning the celebration. :-) Then there is a little more paper work to go through to adjust our application process, but after that we should be good!
We recorded the whole ceremony so that the rest of you could see it. Get in on our 21st century tech-style elopment! You all have to comment and let me know what you think! Haha, I guess, this is *so* cool, because now we don't have nearly the hassles that we did before, and I can let everyone know that I'm part of the married world now. LOL
