Who would have thought I'd make it to post 300 without revealing our faces or real names? This isn't exactly how I wanted to do it. I wanted to do the big reveal by posting our wedding photos with the caption: "They're probably going to live happily ever after, in the realistic sense, of course."
But, as we all know, things don't always go to plan. So here's the link to the news story. If sharing our story can help others in our situation in any way, I'm willing to blow our cover for it. Enjoy!

And while we're at it, here's a link to the story Giselle did two years ago about my blog, right before I won the Cosmo award.

I'm still praying hard that those "people" get their crap together and get it fixed. Meanwhile, you are simply lovely, and he is charming. Wishing you nothing but happiness!
ReplyDeleteI hope they get their crap together, too! Punks. I'm wishing for that happiness, too. Gotta come one of these days, right?
DeleteIm crying big alligator tears. Praying for good news for you.
ReplyDeleteYou lock it up :) Good things come to those who wait and wait and wait. Unfortunately, I'm one of the most impatient people on the face of this earth.
DeleteGah. This just makes me angry. But made me laugh at the same time because I always find newscasters/journalists voices to be so weird and affected. I'm really, really hoping that your next post will be some great news!
ReplyDeleteMakes me angry, too. That second news story about my blog makes me laugh because of how the guy emphasizes the word "SEX" at the very beginning. Cracks my shit up.
DeleteThrough reading your story, it is obvious to anyone that you two are made for each other. What I didn't know, until now, is how perfect you two look together. You just "fit" if that makes any sense. I'm sorry that you guys are going through all of this trouble, but as I'm sure you know, anything worth having, is worth fighting for. I really hope that this extra media attention will help speed your case along, so you can finally be married and start your happily ever after!
ReplyDeleteAwww, that's funny you say that, because before he shaved his head people thought we were brother and sister. Creepy. But I think we're cute together. Mostly, I just like that he's enormous so I can feel tiny :)
DeleteIt's about time!! Y'all are beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteWe're both big ol dorks :) But I kinda love that about us.
DeleteYou both look completely different with eyeballs. I have a good feeling that things are going to work out soon. And if not, you're already five weeks into twenty-two and you KNOW you can do it. Fingers crossed in Maryland.
ReplyDeleteHaha, strange how much the eyes add to a person's appearance, right? I kind of liked rocking those black bars, though! Six weeks down. Maybe 16 to go!
DeleteAgain, I can't understand this whole refusal but I wish you guys nothing but the best! I hope it gets sorted out for you guys ASAP. Your story has been so beautiful and you guys deserve to be happy together!
ReplyDeleteI know, that's the hardest part. I'm like, I get it. I'm glad they're being safe and doing double checks. But... I just want my man :(
DeleteHi!! So any developments coming from you opening up to the media about your situation? I wonder if anyone can help. I hope (!!!) someone can help! Honestly if he can't even travel to see you, what is going to happen? Ugh! I can't even think about how miserable you two are. I am sorry and I wish the best for you both.
ReplyDeleteGirl, just keep your head up. You are such a strong person. We all care about you!!!
Oh and you two are a beautiful couple! Don't give up! "Don't stop believin'" Yeah, I said it! ;)
ReplyDeleteNo new developments yet. Still playing the waiting game! Ugh. If he can't travel to see me, which he can't, I'm going to have to make a trip to London sometime soon. I suppose I could use those vacation days I was planning on using for the wedding :/ But thanks for your kind words!! Everything will work out. I just hope it's sooner rather than later.
DeleteI've read your blog on and off for about year now, so here I am laid up in bed with a nasty cold thinking "hmm, what blogs haven't I read in a while?" I'm so sorry to hear about the immigration delays. The US is one of the worst when it comes to these kinds of situations! I'm a US girl with a British Indian guy. We've been together 4.5 years now and I was lucky enough to get a visa for the UK for the last 3 years, but know how frustrating it can be when it's entirely out of your hands. Wish you all the best and hope you get that fairytale wedding soon! Can't wait to read all about it.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of visa do you have? I'm so glad you've been able to be with your man! I want to hear your story! Why haven't you sent it to me yet? :)
