Are we married yet??????








So if you have ever considered getting married to a Morrocian in Morocco, give yourself at least a month to get all the papers that you need and a goods chunk of money as well. So after spending a week getting things ready in SEttat, ALi and I thought we were pertty well prepared for Rabat, the Canadian embassy and getting the marriage act. Hmmmmm...not the case. We ended up spending a week in Rabat running around like crazy. We each needed about 15 different documents, and then each if those documents had to be stamped, signed, and stamped again by like three different people. Then some needed to be translated, notorized and anything else that they could possibly ask to make things expensive and difficult. At least while we were in Rabat we got to visit all the touris attactions, since official things tend to close in the evening so we had our evenings free. We hung out around the ocean for a bit and saw where the old kings are buried. Finally we got all the papers that we needed and headed back to Oujda, where ali is from, to see the adul, like a Morrocan Justice of the Peace.
