text: Well, pretty much all you have to do is obtain a marriage license to get married in England. You don't have to be a citizen, but you still need the valid license.  Go here:  http://www.vs.gov.bc.ca/marriage/howto.html?SMSESSION=NO\n\nKeep any information that  you have on hand about your visits to see each other.  In case you ever want him to get a green card for the U.S., the immigration offices like to see that you have actually met and known each other for a while and that it isn't just a ploy to gain citizenship. Believe me, I know this from experience and have been in almost the exact same situation you are in.  It can be difficult, but if you love each other, hang in there and it'll work itself out:)  \n\nAs for your pets, go to this website:  http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/index.htm\nYou shouldn't have any problems, but you will probably need statements or certificates from a vet saying the animals are in good health, no diseases, etc.  \n\nI wish you the best of luck.
