The emotional connection is important, but by itself, it's not enough.

I would show the development of the relationship, from first meeting, to getting serious about each other, to starting to combine your lives, to deciding to get married, to marriage, and describing how closely your lives are tied together.  You can see there's room in this for emotion, but also for many of the facts needed to show that you have a genuine relationship.

Include important steps in the development of your relationship.  You know what was most important to the two of you, but consider things like how you met, why you began to date or whatever you did to spend time together. Then what made you decide to be only with each other, when did it happen, and did you talk about it together.  When did you and she tell family and friends that you'd found someone special?  When did each of you meet family and friends? How close are you and she with each other's family and friends?  How much time have you spent together, and what plans did you have to make to spend time together?  Etc.  Show that the relationship has deepened, and that a strong commitment to each other has grown between you.  Facts plus emotions.

Yeah, so what your saying is entirely leave the emotional aspect out of the letter. Just looking for tips here because I am not good at this type of thing, and to be honest, the government doesn't speak my language. My wife no doubt understands them better than I do lol. It wouldn't of been entirely emotional the way you described though. "oh were so in love". Would have been more a span of time of occurances and developing emotions. A little confused on this. Evidence is no issue too, we already have almost all of it compiled.

'Chessy' stuff is not important, what is important is proving the relationship is genuine. You need to prove more than a relationship of 'oh but we are so in love' it needs to be based more on proving that the relationship is a joint relationship, with evidence of corespondence and combining of affairs.
"Will this matter a year from now?"
Probably, this is gonna be a one hell of a long journey.
