As we had to leave Spain for professional reasons we eventually gave up everything and got married in India a few months later (we went through the all Indian process and I think it wasn't bad compared to the French/Spanish one after all...ok we did bribe a few people to get our paperwork completed, oh well). But I'm sure you can do it, maybe some British/Spanish friends went through the process and can give you some tips? Best of luck, hope you can tell me soon about it in person :-)Vanessanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7887985763908023051.post-62049563739497176652012-03-05T14:13:35.752+01:002012-03-05T14:13:35.752+01:00maybe with David being Spanish things would be eas...maybe with David being Spanish things would be easy there either.Nadyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401722898415182009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7887985763908023051.post-16911494457025609852012-03-05T14:12:47.214+01:002012-03-05T14:12:47.214+01:00I don't understand why in so many westernised ...I don't understand why in so many westernised countries things are still made so difficult if you're not married. Last year we got treated really badly at customs in the States for that very reason and my boyfriend was made to join a different queue to me just because we don't have rings on our fingers! Have also heard pareja de hecho paperwork is as much hassle as marriage - it makes you wonder if it's easier to get on a flight to the UK and to tie the know, or even just do it in Gibralter?!
