TE AMO PERU!!!!!!!

[JimmySTLOUIS]

Well it looks like tomorrow I am back on a plane.

The whole thing is a surprise to my girl. She doesnt know I am coming (i am going to crawl in bed with her at 5 am friday morning!).
I have to leave Sunday night so this is a quick trip.

She also doesnt know that I will propose.
We are having a big blow out (surprise) and there will be about 100 people there to see me ask her to marry me. We are having a Mariachi (spelling?) band and the works. Its at a restaurant and I am paying for it.

The plan is to put in for the visa ASAP and then when it comes in go from Lima to Las Vegas - get marrried and then back to St. Louis.

WISH ME LUCK!!!!!

TE AMO PERU!!!!!!!!

First of all, congradulations.  Glad to hear of another Peru success story.

Now, just a thought, if you are not taking advantage of the 3-month waiting period of the fiancee visa, then why not marry her in front of those 100 people you'll have waiting?  Let her mother and sister help prepare her dress and makeup, let her father escort her down the isle, her little nieces be flower girls, her nephew a ring-bearer, her best friend be the brides mate, her family and friends share the moment and the tears.  Let her home town know of her success story, a truely romantic, Cinderella experience, and so forth--

instead of going the typical, over-used, assembly line Las Vegas quicky route, which is as about as special and original as warm milk?

Open your eyes a little wider and see that the world is much more that a Troyfest. There are a number of individuals that have married in Vegas and are very pleased with their memories. If you don't remember anything else remember this. The emphasis should always be on the marriage itself. Should a couple decides to wed at the courthouse and they are happy about it, you don't had a damn thing to say. I'll go the Vega way for sure now! Keep your narrow minded opinions in your big head unless someone specificially asks you for it. I doubt you are getting many asking you for advice.

What a mean spirited thing to say to me.

No one asked you to comment on my thread, and in no way, shape, or form can you dictate what I write, how I write it, and to whom I write it.

(In Mike Tyson's voice) "What a mean spirited thing to say to me."
Dude, Jimmy had his plans laid out and they were quite romantic. I'm sure he wasn't fishing for approval from Troy. I guess it just ain't right if it aint 'fairy-tale' style, is it? The emphasis should be on the marriage and not some fairytale wedding. Open your eyes and realize there is 101 ways to do something right, not just the shallow views in your big head. Go join Clay, now!!
Nuff said.

Still having trouble controlling your bilious inclinations, I see. Slo-ly but surely you will get a handle on it.

 Regarding the suggestion, Jimmy could do both as long as he were to keep quiet about the first wedding in Colombia. Not entirely legal, but no harm done either since his marriage intentions are right.

You are right, I have been a little cantankerous lately. This fiancee (K1) process has me in a tizzy and it has been a hellacious ride. However, your comments don't have anything to do with what I said to Troy and I won't stand by just to be blindsided by some freak sitting somewhere a chair. You have something to say, address me directly not through some misguided comments. I will be happy to engage you in a rational discussion if you are capable. Entiende?

My response was to Troy for questioning or suggestingothers ways for Jimmy to handle his affairs. Also, for him to remember that there are many ways to do things and what matters most is that whoever made the decision is happy. Not for Troy to be happy or approve.
This had nothing to do with Jimmy's post. What are you smoking?
Another thing, some things are best done Slo-ly. I guess that is beyond your ability to reason, especially if you thought my post was directed to Jimmy.

I understood to whom you directed your comments; there was no misunderstanding on my part.

 I believe it's acceptable in this forum for contributors to question or suggest other ways for other contributors to handle their affairs apropos of international dating and marriage.

Wow Jimmy,  won't she be surprised!  I am very happy for you both.  I want to wish you all the happiness and success for your upcoming marriage.

I wanted to ask without raining on the parade, but did you give anymore thought about waiting until the second or third month after she arrives before tying the knot in Vegas?

Suerte,

Pablo
