I can think of several reasons why one might wish to get married, but none of them really explain the mad rush, even if she was pregnant, which is hardly an issue these days anyway. So I reckon the rush is visa related could be him wanting to reduce the 800,000 deposit and change to a married extension ? or maybe he's having to head home and wants a visa for her ? He says he's done all the paperwork but part of that is the "affidavit of freedom to marry" and as far as I remember the pro forma I used required the date or at least the month of the intended marriage. When I got mine stamped at the Embassy the girl told me it was only valid for 30 days So he might have to reconsider his ( or her) plans
