b. Wedding Invitations x 2
c. Wedding Guest Book
d. Character References x 2
So there you have it, we may have submitted more than necessary, but I was very anxious before we submitted an scared we would get refused an would read this forum alot, in hindsight we most likely didnt need all that stuff but I dont know what swayed them to us. By the way, I made a contents page an this is how i laid out the stuff after speaking to a lawyer to see if it was the correct way. I also in the maitenance section, added an extra sheet, I made a table showing income and outgoings to show how we would manage. I think I am just highly anxious for all this stuff. But I hope it helps and above all I realised two most important things in doing this is to have faith and don't lose focus of your relationship, as it is really easy to stress an think negatively.
Good luck to all of you!!!!
so I don't know if it has worked or not yet.
