You don't look so excited...
You must swamped with chores now (add sympathetic frown)
Why aren't you throwing a fancy wedding?
She won't be wearing a wedding dress!? (Gasp!)
You won't be going on a honeymoon?? Are you crazy?
What do you mean you're giving away the TV set once you get married?
WHY AREN'T YOU EXCITED DAMNIT!
The greatest difficulty I faced ever since me and Irene decided to get married has been trying to answer the ridiculous questions thrown at me by narrow-minded people.
For one, I do not believe in making a huge deal out of an bureaucratic procedure. The state wants to keep tabs on who's having sex with who, that's fine by me. But I really think the "ooh"s and "aah"s and the fireworks and the cake and the balloons and six thousand doves released to symbolize our endless love... yeah, I think that's a lot of bullshit.
I want to get married to Irene, I love her, and we would have gotten married eventually. But right now, it's just another hurdle to clear in order to move to Taiwan.
And so far, we're doing great. Wedding date is set, invitations are almost done (hand-made I might add), outfits are already chosen.. and yes.. that's it.
Once we are married, we're going to apply to the Taiwan consulate to start our immigration procedures.. Now, that's something to be excited about.
We are a couple who will be moving to a completely new world and culture, to Taiwan (for good) Summer 2014. This blog is about our last year in Turkey, about all the paperwork process, how we will be selling our stuff, our new experiences in Taiwan (when we get there) and sweet memories that will be made on the way. We can't wait to leave our city and start a new life !

We're getting married !
Dear blogheads !
So, bureaucracy is really pathetic right? To avoid it at the fullest, we have plunged into a big task, we're fighting bureaucracy with even more bureaucracy. We're getting married ! :)
The past couple of weeks has been pretty hectic. We've finally set the date though. We're getting married in three months. Its been really busy since we had to gather all sorts of documentations, health reports and all that. But at least we're going to benefit from this since it will ease our process for moving to Taiwan.
Now it's all wedding preparations + my side job + supposed thesis readings, which end up being pushed aside. But all will be fine. That I'm sure of.
Life's been very beautiful. Lots of hugs to you all. Will keep more updates coming.
XOXOXO
Irene
