oh my jill. please stop and consider this morocco man is a user. stop all contacts and money with this man. this is not common. a woman does not pay for the wedding, airfare and paper translation nor is it in good taste for an arab man to ask money from a woman. nor is it common for an arab man to marry an older woman that happen to have a big age gap such like 10 years. (marrying for the real true meaning).

you did not state where you are from and where you live jill. but i reckon you are from usa or europe. which means many morocco men as well as all other arabs find this as a freedom paradise to escape there impoverished country for a better life in the west. morocco happens to be a poor country. weddings would be very cheap not 1,800 as he stated to you. and who will buy your wedding ring and gold jewerly and dowry ( bridal payment) ? will that be you too?

beware with meeting men off the net and expecially men ask women for money and sounding so charming. because he is fake! arab men are to support their wife and family. that is the law in islam. a woman is responsible to take care of the home.
