i say just do it. get married thru court first. then have a big wedding when you can afford it. if you want to make it a spiritual event then hire a a priest or whatever. my friend came here and overstayed. she got married thru court and waited six months to file for her permanent residency. since she filed before a year she got a conditional PR card but its been 3 years now so she just became a PR and got her conditions uplifted. In the mean time get married and when your ready to file financially then do so. i know immigration prefers people to file long after they marry and not like the day after.
