How long after you met face to face, did you get married?

To make it short, we had a LDR for 11 years.
We were not able to travel together/visit each other because we were too young, but we always planned to start our life together as soon as I finished university.
I was denied a TRV on 2009, reapplied on 2010 for a multiple TRV which was granted. Been with him and the happiest girl in the world since then. We got married last summer :)

Met in Vancouver October 2005 whilst on vacation here.
Flew back to the UK and then back again to Vancouver numerous times, then finally sold everything in the UK and flew back to Canada with my then 15 year old son in September 2007.

Luckily, got a 2 year work visa in November 2007, this enabled me to co habit with my partner and explore the relationship. Applied Inland in September 2009, after realizing I wanted to spend the rest of my life with the man.

Landed May 2010.

Never engaged nor married...... :D :D :D

Met online: June 5, 2009
Committed to love: July 23, 2009
Got engaged, without seeing each other (him holding the ring via webcam): February 15, 2010 (Only 8 months after we started talking)
Finally met in person: March 29, 2010
Married: May 1, 2010
From March 2010, to June 2010, he is in Canada with me.
From June 2010 to September 2010 ( I was in the USA with him )
Filled our papers: Nov. 4, 2010
NOW...WAITING...


If you look at our situation, your's is a lot better. We married 2 months after seeing each other and we got engaged without seeing each other face to face. Total times together is only 6 months, the rest is long distance. I am worried if the IO will question the genuisity of our relationship. We provided a lot of proff. Hoping there won't be any problems. I love my husband to death.
