I've had friends do their test after us and had their ceremony last week so I think it's all random timings unfortunately and depends who is on your case!
Yes I know what you mean about the lawyers, I ahve emailed some asking them if thye are able to answer my questions and if they are I will pay them so I'll let you know what they say!
And yes good to know someone else in exactly the same situation! Where are you heading to?
