Hey everyone, I'm totally freakin out right now. My "hubby " and I have been together for 35 years, and living together for 33 years. We have 2 kids 30 and 32, and a 5 year old Grandson, we kind of did our life in reverse lol. Met, moved in together, had our kids, and then a grandchild. We have been planning a trip with my best friend of 51 years to Jamaica and are leaving in 3 weeks. My hubby has never been on a trip, and we have never gone on vacation anywhere warm or all inclusive together, so my friend and her husband decided it was time for us to do this. Well the trip turned into a wedding in Jamaica on the beach, we are super excited, but now I'm freaking out because hubby needs a passport, which would have been fine as we still have 3 weeks before our trip. So yesterday I filled out his application we went down to the passport office and when it came time to show his ID, he has to show his birth certificate to prove he's a Canadian citizen, he tells me he lost it a long time ago, and didn't know he needed it. OMG. So now we have to send away for his Birth Certificate. The lady at the passport office told us to go to the Service Canada office and apply, but it was the wrong office, we had had to go to the Service Ontario Office. It wouldn't let us apply from their computer, because its only for Ontario certificates, and my hubby was born in Nova Scotia, so we had to go to a regular computer and apply to Service Nova Scotia. Instead of going home, we went to the public library and used their computers to apply on line. This process could take 10 to 15 business days, and we paid extra to have it sent by courier instead of by mail to make it faster, but then that only leaves 5 days to apply and get a passport. We may not get it in time for our trip/ wedding so he may not be able to come on the trip at all. I'm freaking, everything is planned, trip and wedding is booked and I may be standing on the beach by myself with my friend. Wah. So stressful. Is this a sign that we shouldn't jinx 35 years of living together by getting married? Lol. I'm beginning to wonder, and I can't sleep or relax because I'm so worried this may not happen. Maybe we'll have to get married by Skype? Please send positive thoughts and vibes and pray for us that this will all work out. Thanks for listening guys.
