Hello Everyone

[Bex & Nick]

Hello all,

Just thought I'd introduce myself & my other half - I'm Bex, 34, and Nick's 31.

we're having our medicals on Saturday and hope that visas won't be too long afterwards.

2007 is definitely the year for us, we've been planning this for about 18 months. We're getting married at the end of March, so if anyone knows how this will affect my visa (with my name change) that'd be helpful!

We're very excited and nervous at the same time about the big change that this will mean for us. I'm pleased to see a fair few links to other sites which sound helpful. Also can't wait to see this programme on BBC1 that has been mentioned. I'm sure that we'll be looking in here for chats and advice over the next few months.

Cheers for now

Bex

Just fill in the form quoted by the Taylors and this will sort your name change along with a certified copy of your wedding certificate.

We just wanted to say to everyone that Australia is better than we ever dreamt it would be, so everyone hang in there, all the stress and waiting is worth it, we wouldn't want to be any where else :lol:
