I'm now convinced that the (UK) immigration process is just one big con
for your money. £135 for permission to get married, £500 for the
spouse visa that will ensue and £500 for the Indefinite Leave to
Remain 2 years after that, plus the escalating costs of applying for
citizenship and then obtaining a passport (which will probably be an
extortionately priced ID card when 2009 comes around).
