Missouri Wedding - PCC

densebrit · #1 11-24-2002, 03:21 PM

We were married in PCC in Missouri on 6th Sept this year - second try! Lots of juggling because I live in UK as well, so if anyone is thinking about doing it, it's not so bad. You file papers at court house, they take them up to prison on Lawday. When they're returned - you've got 6months in which to file them. You cant do this until you have approval for the marriage. Prison Chaplain wont marry you - we had Catholic Chaplain from local church and you have to give the prison 60 days notification. I was allowed to take in 35mm camera and two films (sealed) and even had a bouquet - glued of course. We were allowed in for an hour - six guests including my son. Four outsiders - including his lawyer who we had to get special visit permission for - and two inmates. It was in the Visiting Room buit it was what we made it - and it was great. Anybody who thinks us European women are crazy meeting these men thru letters - think on this. We dont have the physical attraction complication to work around - we meet them as friends first. The TN article - there's a lot more DR wives in the UK than you'll ever hear about.

Hi Sassy

Thanks to the others for you congratulations as well, should've thanked you before, but with one thing and another I was a lazy tyke. Hope you all had a good Christmas and let's hope 2003 turns out to be a blinding year for al of us.

Sassy, good luck with finding someone in Texas, sure someone will turn up from this board!
