We are in the same boat my friend with a little different background - I am married already but receive Gov'nt assistance monthly for Agent Orange for which I now have prostate cancer- which is in remission praise God.
My wife and I were faced with many obstacles to over come before our marriage because she lived 12,500 mile away in Thailand and I was grounded here in beautiful Lancaster, California. Because I know both of you have strong Faith in the Lord, you will notice how He will already open doors and make the way clear for your wedding union - never forget to praise Him when your dreams begin to happen - wishing I had a front row seat - blessings to both of you!
