I'm so glad it worked out. May life smile upon thee.

Congratulations for you and your beloved, Zen! :3

Even when you don't know me, I felt a little shocked when I saw the title of this post.

I talk sometimes with your mate, IceLyon and obviously I notice how much he loves you and when I saw this I were saying to myself, "Omg, i hope it's nothing bad about them... I hope it's not...". I felt very bad the first lines.... but at the end is great, heh.


I'm glad you got an extension, I also hope everything goes well for you two because you've proven that you two really love each other (specially after what you two have done all this time, heh.)



My best wishes for you two, and I hope you manage to get something more permanent in a future.

heh, lucky for you both ^^ hope you`ll be together for much more.

Hopefully I`ll be seeing my mate this September, who is working to get the enaugh money to reach down here, a trip from Canada to Chile. He`ll be only for a few weeks, but.. those will be the happiest days I`ll have ^^

Oye Zorro, quiza yo pueda ayudar con algunos tips para ti y tu mate con los vuelos aereos... ya que mis tios viajan siempre desde Canada a Chile, desde Montreal para ser más exacto. :)

muchas gracias ^^ sería una gran ayuda, nos veremos hoy en la noche :3 *hugs*

Yay! :D Congrats! All good and hapiness for you and your mate Zen :3

Kickass! Nice one! Hope the next two years for you two are twice as good :)

Congratulations on your extension.

Make sure you make the best of it.

It's nice to hear about the times when long-distance relationships work out. It's a very rare occurance. You both have the envy of this bunny.

I am so glad you two are going to ba able to stay together. *so happy* i mean, you two are one of the most famous couples of the fur art community.
is there any way you might be able to become a citiZEN of the country you are living in? you know, so you can stay permanently?

After being here 4 years, I can try apply for perminant residence.. or we can even get married since end of 2005, same sex marrage is excepted here now :)

glad to hear it^^ what country are you and Icelyon in anyway?

They are here in the UK.

That's great news. I'm not sure where-abouts you are, but its nice to see that the world isn't as uptight as certain US states.

They are here in the UK. (Canada and others allow same sex 'marriage'.)

Where in the world is same-sex marriage permitted? I'm not at all knowledgable about such things. I've never even met a man who would actually get married to another man, which is part of the reason I don't know.

Yes! I'd like to know this too since my mate lives in the state of Utah where the mormons are trying to drive the gays out..

UK allows same sex marriage

They are here in the UK, which allows civil partnerships for gay couples. Some other countries allow gay 'marriage' why don't you cross the boarder north? Canada has gay 'marriage'.

Indeed we may just do that, And it would prolly be easier to get into Canada then the UK.

Heh, I hope its easy, its where I wanna move too after uni.

They are here in the UK where civil partnerships are allowed for gay couples.

Canada and some other countries also allow gay 'marriage'.

Germany doesn't allow gay marriage, but it allows gay couples to register as couples, giving them the same rights married couples have.

THe ones I've heard of:

The Netherlands
UK
Canada.


THose are the only ones I personally know of.

I can recall Sweden as well. If there is a question, there is a wiki for it... ;) The listing seems accurate enough: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage

I guess it's still legal in MA. But I guess this whole thing might come up to vote soon which is like...dumb.

Im happy for you both. Been folowing your relationship for a while now thru both of your art. Im glad that things are working out for you in that aspect. May you have many many many more years.

Congrats man. I am glad that you were able to get everything said and done.

Well congrats to you ^-^ Hope everything works out for you both

Congrats for you and your mate! May all good fortunes come your ways! = )

Good for you, hon! You too seem very happy together and I wish you both the best of luck. >"^_^"<

*HUGE WAH HUGGLES*

Im gonna presume then Zen that you are residing in the UK? Where abouts if you dont mind me asking? Do you ever make it to any of the UK fur meets (assuming your in the UK)? Just nosing cause Im in the UK too. Would be cool to meet another 2 great artists :P (not that Im saying Im great btw..that sounded wrong) *chuckles*

We have meets? Where's the publicity?

depends I guess on where abouts in the UK you are. Im in Sheffield. I guess meets here and more of a party type gathering than a main stream meet, but they happen too.

Its meant to be, I can't imagine a happier couple than you too. You two have had a fire brewing between both of you since the start, and thats not going to go out anytime soon. Best wishes ;7

Awesome that you could extend it… I hope you can eventually make your stay permanent *hug*

May I ask what your home country is, and where you are living now?

awww you lucky ones <3 I wish I could be togehter with my love ;-; it's hard to be divorced and living in different countrys so I hope this will never happend to you two again^^

Thats just amazing, really something out of a storybook ending to me...


I'm glad that things actually worked out for the better and am happy for you both. :)

congrats

Yay, congrats.

I know you don't know me, but I just wanted to say that I'm really happy that you got a 2 year extension on your visa. I'm glad you'll be able to stay with you mate longer. Good luck to both of you, and I wish you all the best :)

Really happy to hear about your visa extencion, although you don't know me and I not you I felt connected in some way (My mate also living in another country -_- ), I'm really happy to hear it worked out for you two, I really hope you become a citizen so you can stay permanently, or the marriage, both sounds acceptable options.
Wish you luck both.

Hey, congratulations, Zen. I'm glad that you could stay a little longer. I plan on getting married to my mate too.

Congrautulations on achiveing that. I wish you and your mate many happy and wonderful years together.

Congratulations, and best of luck to you and Icelyon. :)

This calls for celebratory buttsex.

Good for you, I should say. I've not had much luck in that department, so it's good to hear that someone is/does. Many happy years to the both of you.

I love Happy Ends.. :)

I'm glad to hear you could get this extension. I'm also hope for you to get a residence permit so you can stay there with your Icelyon. You're a cute couple and it's great to see you two are doing so fine together, as is it always with nice pairs coming together. I'm sure you two can do it since you did it until today. <^_^>

I knew you guys would hit it off, you have been very good friends over the years, ahve alot in common and now mates, im happy for ya. :3

-Z

Good for you Zen and IceLyon

Congratulations, kiddo.

sweet, glade you're getting an extension. Wish you the best of luck figuring a permanent way

YEA!!! Nice one! Good for ya for getting the extention, and being able to stay after that. Where do you live, Australia?

kickass

awww thats the best news i've heard all day =^.^= thats absolutely wonderful!

I'm very glad to hear it's gone well.. I hope you can get a permanent status so you can stay together forever.

Hopefully soon you'll be able to get married (or a civil union or whatever they want to call it) and you can stay here permanently. :3

Well done, ZEN! I hope getting a permanent citizenship when the time comes will be smooth sailing for you and Icelyon. ^__^

YAY!

Congratulations hon. a great person like you needs good things to happen to him

You two really do seem made for one another. It would be a shame to see you separate. ;p

Aww so glad (for both of you) that you got the extention :D

Yay! So glad to hear things are going so well for you two. ^.^ Still hoping to get my mate moved up out of his country within the next couple years.

To stay with your love throught chat don't fill up real feelings. That you moved to your mate years ago was a great idea and if i could have someone I would love, I would do it also. I lost one friend i thought i could be close by and it still hurts me terrible if i think back at losing her even she told me, I never would be a mate for her. But I still had feeling for her, like ever and will ever have, if she want it or not.

That stuff like a visa is the reason to split , I would KILL those people which want to. TO split people which are in love is something I don't want to let happened. I'm only a small being, without great power, but I know, out there, are many like me which think like that. Love shouldn't be split.

That is one of my wishes I will keep for myself: If I can, i will never let a pair getting cry because of worry, splitting, or any problem which is made by goverment or any other community which try to give people a home and a joyful life, but restrict the way with their rules.

I would love if you find any way to stay with your mate forever. Take the two next years you have and handle it. For your love, for your future, for your mate, and for all others which knows how you feels and want to change it too.

Wow! That's awesome that you were able to do that. Best of luck together in the future!

Puuh glad to hear that this wrked out,... for the moment.

Congrats, ZEN! I wonder if you can apply for a more permanent stay... ROWR.

hey, hehe wow I'm REALLY glad for the both of you!! ^..^ my your next two years be happy and may there be many more many many moer years beyond that for you. I too moved in with my mate, after knoing him online, heh we also hit it iff very well so I know how the time flys

I'm really happy for you two. I hope everything works out, and you can be together forever.

What more can I say babe? Yay ;D We owe my father everything :)

I shant say much as hell, we're just damn happy about this :D Whats more to say? We'll certainly make this far more permanent soon :)

Glad to hear everything is allright, hope next time your visa reaches the limit you do much better than now.

Condrats you two.. even though its only two more years.. thats two more years in being together..

its a good thing we live in countries that allow Same Sex Marrage ^.^

If I were you.. Id marry that Sexy Lion well befor your next deadline so you don't have to worry and get to be with the man you love..

Again.. Congrats and I hope for the best for you two

congradulations, it's great to hear that you can stay there with him :)

glad it worked out for you kitty, give the lyon a snug for me :)

That's really great to hear.

I wish you two the best, you guys really are a very cute couple :3

wow congrats on pulling off another 2 year extension, how'd you manage to achieve something that was belived to be impossable? :3

congrats

Huzzah! Here's to two more years. :3

Proof once again that love is stronger than paper-work! I hope you guys can find a perminant solution in the next two years. Maybe you should put out a call for any furry experts on British imigration law?

Congrats, Zen. It's always great to have more time to spend with your mate ;)

That certainly calls for a round of drinks on me! To even have the courage to make that big a change in your life in the first place to actually move there is enought to make me salute your dedication to your mate. That you managed, though a lot of time and effort to extend your stay truly speaks for how much you love him. However, I already knew that; your drawings of the two of you together speak in very deeply emotional tones of just how much you treasure Icelyon. It's part of what drew me to your art. While I have an on-line mate I love just as much, I doubt I'll ever meet him RL. Neither of us have the courage or the money to acomplish what you have. We'll do just fine though living through our dreams on-line.

Given I'm someone that doesn't quite agree with my country's stance on gay marriage, I find this story inspiring. Leaving on a visa may be a good idea for my mate and I.

Best wishes to the both of you, and I can only hope we're as happy down the road as you two'll be. <3

I am glad to hear the the two of you will still be able to enjoy one another's company for a while longer. The two of you indeed seem to be meant for each other. The emotion that you & Icelyon put into your art is just amazing. It only seems to get better as time continues on.

You could almost say it's as though through your guys' art, we can see inside to your true personality & stuff.

Was going to say more, but it seems my brain went into shutdown mo0de, so, yeah.

I hope things continue to go well for the two of you & you are able to be together, hopefuly as long as the two of you wish & aren't restricted to the two years.BUt, either way, I know things will work themselves out for the best for the 2 of you. I am glad to hear the two of you are able to be to each other.

Sorry if my thoughts seem scrambled, but I hope the meaning behind the words went through, even though words many times can be sometimes restrictive.

I'm off to bed now maybe, so as to possibly stop rambling. @_@

Best of luck & wishes to the two of you & whatever this journey called life may take you.

Sounds very romantic =3 :)

I wish the two of you all the luck there is left in the world. I know what it's like to be pulled from the one you love and truly hope you never have to face that.

HUZZAH!!!!!!!

Congratulations on managing to get another 2 years. I hope you stay together.

Yay!!! I'm so happy to hear that you're still together^^ I hope that i'll be able to get out from Russia and meet you)))

I kind of shouted this already.. and now Im going to comment exactly the same thing because Im odd! Yay:

Hehe.. Thats soo cute, I wish I am as happy as you are when I get to that point in my life..

I hope it goes well!!

Its good to hear you got an extention, hopefully soon you might get full citizenship. Good luck and take care.

I'm so glad you were able to get an extension. My mate is in another country as well so I know that feeling of separation an ocean can create. I hope to move there someday. Hopefully I'll be as lucky as you and things will work out. ^_^ Congrats!

heh.. my mate lives in the US v_v and i live in Canada right now were trying to find a way that he may live here... but other problems have played issue and it could take upwards 3 years to happen....
