In Germany it's especially the beautyful/diverse locations or/and the freedom to chose them (isn't it?) in the U.S. that people dream about :)Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16479863016228773870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207185812820119738.post-6500088097863303992017-04-27T05:00:29.869+08:002017-04-27T05:00:29.869+08:00Hm, so maybe that ours took so long is boths' ...Hm, so maybe that ours took so long is boths' countries fault. I remember that Germany wanted a certain document to proof that both partners aren't married yet. And because in Mongolia the required document there seemingly doesn't exist, it required sort of a substitute document that had to be checked again and so on. We did not have to do so much ourselves, the main time was consumed by - as we were told - the sending around of all the papers between our town, the Mongolian consulate in Munich, Mongolian embassy in Berlin and Mongolia. My husband is applying for German citizenship now and already several months occupied with sending stuff, writing pages of handritten letters to the Mongolian President, and every now and then again some hardly polite embassy personell calls to inform us that something more is required. My husband said he almost feels bullied since he asked for a complete list of all requirements in the beginning and still... Adds to the nice stories about Mongolian embassy here, another one being the wedding ceremony of (both Mongolian) relatives at the embassy in Berlin with a 'don't you dare to bother me' official in charge, dressed in a leisure suit. If it's not oneself being concerned, it would be almost funnyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16479863016228773870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207185812820119738.post-68594199903634595232017-04-26T08:27:42.152+08:002017-04-26T08:27:42.152+08:00Getting married here in Mongolia (which we did fir...Getting married here in Mongolia (which we did first) was a LOT of paperwork, but once we submitted it was only a week until we were married.

Strangely, Zorig and I got married in the U.S. while we were there this past Christmas. That was SO easy. One piece of paper to fill out (only had to have passports to prove identity), paid $30, and then we got married. Zorig was shocked at how LITTLE paperwork there was. <br /><br />So nice that your parents through you both a party! Congrats on the nuptials and baby!Heather Caveneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851750869309734058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207185812820119738.post-58303667499462118262017-04-26T06:00:35.624+08:002017-04-26T06:00:35.624+08:00Hi, i'm married to a Mongolian man in Germany....Hi, i'm married to a Mongolian man in Germany. We had applied for our marriage in May, 2007, naivly thinking we would then for sure be married in time for our first baby to arrive in october 2007, but it turned February, 2008 when we finally could get married, 9 months and about 600€ later. My parents organized a secret surprise wedding party party for us as we ourselves as students couldn't and didn't plan a party, and this 100-guests-party happened one week before our actual wedding, because my parents had finally to find a firm date for planning and inviting while the local officials still couldn't tell them how long the process will take... ;)Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16479863016228773870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207185812820119738.post-6565275645555852762017-01-23T13:48:32.105+08:002017-01-23T13:48:32.105+08:00I feel you Heather.
