...and now we wait...

this is about how excited we are to sit and wait for news... jejeje

so for all of you wondering how one goes about getting married in the holy land :)

fall in love (aah, so nice), get consent of parents (a little scary at first, but oh so happy after it's given!), have a meeting with the office of personnel (very official but short), and then...
wait.
and wait.
and wait.
and then, on some day when you're least expecting it, you'll get the news that either:
a) yes, you're welcome to marry in the holy land and continue your service happily ever after
b) you're welcome to marry in the holy land, but please go home straight away
c) do what you like but just don't do it here!
d) (i'm sure there must be at least one other option! just can't think of what...)
and then, you get to do all the logisitical stuff like find a couple's flat to move into, contact the legal office to make sure all your papers are in order, figure out a date, start planning... :D
but until then... we shall wait.
just hopefully not too long! ;)

No se como termine leyendo tu blog!No lo conoci mucho a Patrick pero se que siempre tiene una sonrisa radiante :) y que canta bien bonito.

Paciencia, mucha paciencia, creo que se tardaron como un mes cuando Daniel y yo pedimos permiso para casarnos en Haifa...

Un abrazo GRANDOTE!
