What do I need to do to get married?
I am not a hundred percent sure how to explain my situation, but I am going to give it my best shot.
Let me start at the beginning. My fiance signed up for the Navy last April and as we were waiting for his background check we decided to get married. So we got engaged in October and tried to get married in December. Had it all planned out.
So we went to see the recruiter get the papers needed to start my background check. His recruiter was happy for us and wanted to help us out. Until I told him that I have two citizenship.( My mother being Brazilian and my dad American. So I am American and I am Brazilian. I have my mother's citizenship as well. But I have never worked or voted in Brazil. So I am pretty much American in that aspect.) The recruiter told that we had to wait to get married until my fiance was at least an E3 rank. (Because he is going in as a Nuke. I guess they have pretty high security and that's why we had to wait.)
I would like to know if there is anything I can do to help us get married soon. We were hoping to have a July wedding this year. He should be out of boot camp by then and hopefully he will be an E3. We are both kind of new to this situation and I was hoping that maybe there was someone who could walk us through it. Or if there was a general place to ask my question and get some answers.
Hopefully I made some kind of sense. Any kind of information or guidance would be very helpful. Thank you guys so much! I am trying my best to feel not lost and confused so anything really would be helpful. Thanks!
