DEAR DEIDRE: EVER since I fell in love with an incredible Brazilian woman who was on holiday in the UK, I have wanted to marry her.
But I’m not sure if we can marry in this country, or if I should go over to her home to do so.
I’m 42 and she is 30.
We had a two-week holiday romance a year ago, and since then we have video-messaged every day.
I know she’s the one, and she tells me that I am too. We talk for hours and have so much in common.
Last month, I went out to visit her and proposed, and she said yes.
Friends have told me that as she’s not a British national, she might not be able to live here.
What steps do we need to take to make our love official?
Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained councillors.

DEIDRE SAYS: Do not rush. You clearly love her, but holiday romances are not the best preparation for a lifetime together.
Perhaps wait a while, and see how this develops.
Or she could come over for a longer period, so you can live together and see how things work out.
She will need a spouse visa and to meet certain financial and legal requirements.
See the Gov UK website (gov.uk/marriage-visa). It will tell you what you both need to do if you want to marry.
