Getting married, part one

A mere 18 months after I went for San on my knees, asking her the "little question" in Mercadão, downtown São Paulo, lots of things have happened. None of these have so far led to the answering of the big question with a "Yes!" Not that we wanted to. To the contrary! We started a round of getting papers in order for a wedding in either NL or Brazil almost immediately after the "little question" was out in the open. However, due to one tiny little uncertainty we couldn't get that round completed. The little uncertainty was the start of the work in Macedonia: "When does it start?" The process of answering that is a complete different story, but it interfered our wedding plans in all possible ways.

Now, we're in the middle of round two, which more or less started February this year. In the middle of carnaval-crazy Brazil. The document obtained at that time was the required certificate of civil status. More about that one in later blog-entries.
