How we almost missed our wedding in Mexico

Hello again! I previously wrote about our visa application, and now we are waiting for an answer. We applied in early September. We thought this would be plenty of time to make our wedding in Mexico in December. The home office had both of our passports with my application. Mine was needed because the visa is stamped into it. His was to prove he was a British citizen (we've since found out a photo copy would have worked..thank you lawyer for the misinformation). 

Now, these statistics were from January but are similar to the ones when we applied. We were assured numerous times by the lawyer it wouldn't be ninety days. Turns out he was wrong. As each day moved in we became more nervous we were going to miss our wedding. We tried calling a pay per minute number to try to find out information, always unsuccessful. Anthony even traveled to Sheffield (visa application center) to try to beg for an answer. No such luck. I traveled to Chicago in November, to try to obtain a secondary passport. Finally, we caught a break. They issued me a same day passport..now only to get Anthony's. Finally, I received an email on November 30,  saying a decision had been made and my application was being mailed back to me. At this point we didn't know the decision, and we didn't care we were going to make our wedding! I tracked my package and waited all day for UPS to show up. If I could get it sent that day, Anthony would have his passport Saturday. His original ( well our) travel date was that Saturday. The hours dragged on and still no UPS. I was starting to freak out. If it didn't get to me in time I couldn't send it, and his passport wouldn't be there until Monday, making him miss his now second flight booked. Yikes!! So, my mom and me begin praying hard. UPS shows up right at 7 pm. We jump in the car and race to UPS to make the drop off cutoff. Success!!! Anthony's passport would be there by Saturday, he would fly out Monday and our wedding was happening. Well guess what?? UPS sent his passport to the wrong location. We called every possible number and were told were pretty much out of luck, not their fault. Now I'm all but pulling my hair out, so close yet another road block. So, we contact the travel agent and get Anthony a new ticket ( the only next direct flight was for Wednesday, our wedding was Thursday). So three flights for Anthony later, plus my new flight ( originally booked out from UK had to rebook from US) we both made it to Mexico for our wedding. Not to mention..... MY VISA WAS APPROVED!!!  So much stress, fear, and uncertainty but we made it to the most beautiful wedding either of us could ask for.
