I have been checking this site, having stumbled across it whilst looking up information to marry in Egypt.

I am from the U.K and have been dating my Egyptian boyfriend for a year.

This September we plan to come to Egypt together as his Visa has expired and have decided that we want to get married now (Earlier than we both wanted) in order to be able to be together.

As you can imagine this decision has been mainly met with hostility by my family who feel that I am being taken for a ride!

My boyfriend has lived with myself and my 8yr old son for 3 months and has been a huge support, comfort and pure pleasure to live with - thus making me more sure it's him I want to be with.

Having read some of the stories on this site I am am now slightly worried that my families worst fears will have some truth.

I have defended him and our relationship to anyone that has questioned it as I have TRUSTED and still trust him and have never had that feeling with any other man.

Please tell me it's not all bad and that there is a possibility of a happy ever after for me!!!!!

Would love to hear your thoughts
