Well, I had a privately rented house in England, that didnt get given up
till after we had been to immigration and asked what we should do next.
I still have a bank account there too.
The only reason we had my wedding ring for that day was because it was
part of a set along with my engagement ring. Which I believe we have the
receipt for. My husband didnt have one for our wedding, we didnt get his
till about 2 or 3 weeks after we were married.....I believe we have the
receipt for that too. I have phoned a lawyer though, just in case. I
suppose its all going to come down to luck that day.
Thank you for your reply Rete. I can always rely on you for honesty :)
