Some good friends of mine had dated when he was in the marines. Her dad worked for an embassy. It was years before I met them so I don't remember where. They kept in touch for 8 years but dated other people, (I always thought he was afraid of commitment). Then she comes in from Canada and stays with him for a while. They got married so she did not have to go back. It was a bit of a quick adjustment and it was rough at first.
They are very much in love. She just had a baby yesterday. He has been in Iraq with my husband and made it home the evening she had the little boy. She has developed an entirely new social network because he is really all she had here. She lived with his mother for a while but she died in August. She has dual citizenship.
I guess that was a hijack--sorry. I do think it is okay to marry when it is a situation like this. This couple had to go through so much to "prove" it is a legitimate marriage. It is sad that people abuse this law that is meant to allow people who love each other to be together.
