update: office of marriage

Just a quick update: we did it! We registered! The lady was really nice - I just have to bring my translation in next week. So we're all set!

Now, our case goes to the courts - since Germany requires something called a "marriage ability certificate", which the US doesn't issue, the courts have to stamp their approval before we can say the "ja wort". Which will cost us a chunk of court fees.

well... could be worse :)
