Hi all
Glenn and I have decided to get married! He just mentioned that he will have to get a copy of his divorce,etc (UK bloke, divorced) and it got me thinking... I only have a copy of my SA divorce - certified true copy but I lost the original one! Does anyone know if I will need to get the original or at least a govt. copy... or any suggestions where I should start to find all of this out?
we have set the date as 12th June 2010 so I have time on my hands but knowing how things like Passports and stuff take ages I best start now!
To regret past mistakes is to live them over again....... move on and live your life without regret!

Congrats Spacegirl, I would definitely apply for the originals to be safe, you don't want to have a problem at the last minute.

Congratulations to you both. I would probably start by phoning the Registrar and asking what the rules are. Google Registrar's office, putting the area you live in first and that should give you the local office. Hope this helps

hehehe - yes that would be an idea but we have decided to have the :wed: in Cornwall
urfing: on a beach there... no fancy reception just a good old Saffa Braai! will keep the costs to a minimum as I plan to make my wedding dress and start buying champagne now...stockpiling! giggle... even plan to have the i-Pod set up with music so forsaking the need for a DJ! I want to walk down the isle to
"The Click Song" by Miriam Makeba... it is normally sung when a girl gets married... while I may not be a girl anymore I still dig the song! besides as my dad speaks fluent Xhosa we may even do a bit of a jig down the isle! hehehe
if I could guarantee the
unny: then it will be perfect!
Glenn and I are now planning a trip to SA to tell my parents in person and at the same time sort out my divorce papers! hehehe and he knows I am home sick...

Seeing as you're going down south and not been to CT yet.. you need to go there. After you tell your folks.. and as a 'shopping trip' too.
With the exchange rate in your favour, do the wine route and purchase your Methode Champenoise (Spl) from a decent estate down there - John Platter Guide will assist in this - and then you can have your Saffa braai with Saffa 'Champagne' too
(You can choose to store it down at the Bergkelder in Stellenbosch and ship it out closer to your wedding as well.)
