Hey Kiandi,
I was just noticing that you're kind of at a half way point...you're wedding date is only as far away as you've already waited for your visa! I like seeing those glass half full kinda things...it makes me feel like I can get through the maddening wait. Hopefully it will help you too. :) Where will you and your fiancé be getting married? In the states or Australia? I keep an eye out for your posts b/c I feel like I'm right behind you, so here's hoping you hear something soon...so I can too! :)
