I miss Tep dearly! Was thinking about his vinegar chicken recently. Don't think I've seen him on the boards in years unless he has posted under a different name?

I have?
― Tuomas, Friday, 21 April 2017 17:30 (nine years ago)
I've been away, yeah, it's been a bit busy spring for me. Work's been stressful, and I'm facing some pretty major personal life rearrangements. My Costa Rican girlfriend was visiting me in March, and at the moment we're planning of her moving here. (Previously, we did consider the option of me moving there, but with Trump in power and CR being fairly dependent on US investments, employment opportunities there don't look very good + my Spanish is crappy.) But in order for her to get a residence permit in Finland, we need to be married. So we're gonna tie the knot in the summer when I travel to Costa Rica. Which should be great, and it is, but all the paperwork and bureaucracy involved in international marriage and immigration of a non-EU citizen to here is a bit stressing.
― Tuomas, Friday, 21 April 2017 17:40 (nine years ago)
wow! sounds kind of stressful but otherwise great news

It is, and I'm happy that it's happening! I'm not a big believer in marriage as an institution, and TBH never expected to jump through that hoop myself, but it's pretty much the only option we have to make sure she gets to stay here. (The other option would be if we had kids together, so...) I guess you should anything for love, even get married, right?
― Tuomas, Friday, 21 April 2017 17:45 (nine years ago)
I guess if it really comes to that! :)

Tuomas that is amazing and wonderful news! And the best reason to be dismissed from ilx tbh. Good to see you around again <3

nice to see ENBB, I was just this morning walking around my house thinking 'blapmantis, blapmantis' for no good reason.

A curvy Costa Rican wife! (apologies if you don't get that reference, I'm not *actually* being grossly objectifying)
Congrats, Tuomas.
― emil.y, Friday, 21 April 2017 22:32 (nine years ago)
No prob, I actually wrote "my curvy Costa Rican girlfriend" on some thread here a while ago, and then I was afraid people might think *I'm* sexist if they don't get the reference.
― Tuomas, Friday, 21 April 2017 22:36 (nine years ago)
Thanks for the congrats, everyone! On our way to Finland, we'll be staying with my gf's sister and her family in New Jersey for 6 days. So I was thinking, if I have the time, it would be nice to meet up with New York ilxors, since I failed to do that the last time I was there?
― Tuomas, Friday, 21 April 2017 22:39 (nine years ago)
Yes pls

Congrats, Tuomas!
I'm not a big believer in marriage as an institution
That's OK. Everything that's real about a marriage is just you and your spouse, figuring stuff out together. The institutional part can safely be ignored as long as you put your efforts into the getting along and helping each other part.
