[quote=GUEST??,46390]Hey folks,

UK male here seeking info about marrying my Chinese girlfriend early next year. We met mid-last year when I was over there for 7 months and she's since spent a month in the UK with me in April. As far as marriage goes, UK requirements decree us living together for two years in any country before being entitled to marry here, which is a no-go.

Marrying in China is easier but due to my job commitments, it's difficult for me to be away for around two months (21 days until registering, then wait, marry, then wait, etc). It's not really an option to quit my job either as the her application for a visa once married would need to be employed so neither of us need public funds to live.

So, I'm wondering if their is a country out there where we can marry without needing 2 months prior, after which the marriage is recognised in both the UK and China. If not, China it will be... somehow, but I'd like to completely rule out other options first.

Thank you for any advice.[/quote]
