Letter from Officiant to perform ceremony (2 photocopies)
We had set our wedding date as June 25th, 1999. My pastor, who will
be performing
the ceremony, was happy to provide a letter on church stationary,
stating who he was
and that he had agreed to perform our ceremony on this date, and
that the church was
reserved for this date. The chances are as of now, slim to
none that we will make our
date, but we can always reschedule, and said so in our application.
Joint bank account opened 1-15-99 (2 photocopies)
The day before Pascal had to return home, he and I went to the local
bank to open up
an account for him. There was one stipulation however: I had to
become a joint owner
in order for him to get one, as I have a social security number
and he does not. Banks
are supposed to also allow the use of Tax ID numbers, which can
be acquired by an
alien Fiancé(e), however, I do know that not all banks will
accept this. At some, it is
a social security number or nothing. Just an added note here….It
was a wonderful feeling
knowing that the two of us actually had our first legal tie to each
other after we opened this
account. Walking out of the bank with this knowledge felt like we
had just reached some
huge milestone (Giggle) I can’t really say what attributed to this
feeling, but I think it had
something to do with the realization of the amount of trust we had
built up between us.
It just made us feel a bit closer, somehow. :o)
