Police report needed?

Arnold:
Congratulation on your upcoming Wedding ! Jim and Angel , may your match be " Made in Heaven " .

Chad:
When I got married in China I had the single certificate with me that I got here in the US but I am not sure I really needed it. I went to the American Consulant in Chengdu and talked to them. They said I needed a paper from them and then I could get married. ($40 in cash as well) I had to have a certified copy of my last American divorce to prove I was indeed single. They attached the single certificate to the paper they provided. Then all we did was go to the place that registers the marriage and had our picture taken and signed a couple of papers and that was it.

Then three days latter of course we were back to the same place. I wonder what I will need to get married in China the next time? (Just kidding of course, maybe)

So if you have been married before I would make sure and get a certified copy of the final judgement from your courthouse and take it with you. Good luck!

Scottish_Rob:
congrats Jim.......Hope your future is bright...

JimB:
Thanks everyone.  I have never felt this way before. Also she must be married in the city that is her home of permanent record.  As in Angels case she lives in Beijing but her home of record is in Wuhan.  That is one reason for getting married there.  That is something else to consider.

Let me just give an example of just one reason why I do this.  She asked me if it was ok if she got a perm for the wedding.  Of course I said no problem and then thanked her for asking.  She had no idea why I was thanking her.  She said "you are going to be my husband, why would I not ask for your decision?"  I thought decision really meant opinion.  But I will take it. lol  Coming from a marriage where I was not consulted about almost anything.  This is quite a turn around.  (I told my sister this and she said she cant wait to get her hands on Angel.  I told her if she did, she was no longer my sister. LOL.)

JimB:
Yes, there were only two things on the last trip that I didnt suggest, one was where to eat to meet her brother and when we went to the Zoo. Because Qingqing (Her daughter) wanted to go. (I had already been, on the last trip)   That was it.  The rest of the trip was all about me.  Even though I asked her many times, it was always whatever you want.

We got sort of sidetracked here.  Sorry Irish.
I had read about the police report before, but have never actually heard of anyone needing one.
