Thank all of you guys for replying!!!! This is seriously helping set my mind at ease! So basically as an American I should bring my birth certificate & passport down to where they serve marriage licenses and certificates and then do what we need to do and make sure both sides are aware and then apply for an outland permanent residency? Sounds good to me.
RE: Sea Shepherd. I made a phone call to my local consulate. When I've gone through customs before I've been questioned as far as my affiliation (due to various logos on clothing and bags at various times) and I've already gone through the song and dance of "there's no seals in Alberta. I have no intention of going onto the ice floes etc etc." Most customs agents chuckle and state that they agree with our cause or say something about Japan's whaling operation and then let me on there. Occasionally there's a jerk that searches my bags looking for god only knows what.
anyway. I was told that being a member of SSCS shouldn't be an issue at all since they're an eco-conservation group that's never been convicted of any act of terrorism even though Japan and people involved in the seal hunt have called us such and there hare a great number of members in Canada especially in BC.
I'm so excited. We really do want to be married. it's been a long time and to me it's worth it. We can't incur the expense of a 50,000 - 100,000 wedding right now. But we intend to do something absolutely lovely in due time. Right now we're saving up to buy an acreage. I train horses for a living so I need some space of my own
