I called the registry office in Geldern today and they told me we have to send a short letter demanding a copy of the so-called 'Familienbuch' of the boyfriend's parents.
According to the nice lady we spoke to in Leverkusen that's all we need. The boyfriend already wrote the letter and we're going to send it today.
Yeah, the other thing. I lured him with money. I tried to find out how much money I'm going to take home once I have a real job and it turns out that I'd get about 300 to 400 Euro more every month if I was married.
I agree that it's a pretty unromantic way to think about it, but then again, guys... 300 Euro. Every month. Considering the fact that we're talking about getting married for nearly a year now, it's a pretty good reason to do it soon. It's not like we're flush with money or have ever been.
But again, that's surely not the reason I want to marry the boyfriend. The real reason is purely emotional and as romantic as it can be. But then again, if you knew what my bank account looked like for like the last five years, you'd understand why the idea of getting more money just for doing what I want to do anyway doesn't sound too bad to me.
