Are you hoping he'll ask soon?

Too many Capri Sun pouches left lying around.

And saw a guy in a pool? A bunch of wet towels?

Maybe they got it wet. I hear that's hard to undo.

We've talked about marriage and it's definitely on the cards. It's been over 4 years since the first date but we still have things to sort out first. My mom has been bugging me about it for ages though, lol. It's extremely unlikely that my brother will ever get married, so I think that's why.

He must be nervous about it. I know I'd be a wreck.

Yeah I imagine that's part of it. There's also the whole immigration thing too. He has a permanent resident card (like our version of the green card) but I don't want the government all up in my face thinking he's just marrying me to become a citizen. You actually have to prove the legitimacy of the relationship in this case, before they issue a marriage license. Fucking bureaucrats

What are the requirements to satisfy the 'bureaucrats'?

The main one is that if you're a Canadian who wants to marry a non Canadian and sponsor them for citizenship, you have to have lived together for two consecutive years after that person has obtained their permanent resident card. That's so they can verify the legitimacy of the relationship through lease or mortgage agreements or bank account statements, things like that. My boyfriend and I have been living together for three years, but he's only had his card for a year. Before that, he was just here on a student visa. So even if he proposed now, we'd have to wait at least another year or so before applying for a license to get married. We're considered to be in a common law domestic partnership right now, so I can sponsor him for citizenship right now but these are the stipulations. It's easier to just wait a few more months before moving forward to engagement.

They have those regulations in place to stop the mail order bride crap and to prevent people from staging fake marriages just to become citizens. You can actually go to prison over this if you don't follow the rules.
