What additional documents and proofs of relationship to include?

[Wonderwall]

Hi everyone!

I've been researching this topic for a long time and we're finally ready to send our sponsorship application in!
I know were supposed to include things like pictures, T4's, joined bank statments.
But our situation is a bit different since we started dating and got married in a span of 8 months.

Is there additional information you would recomand to provide to prove that even though we got married quickly the marriage is 120% genuine?
I was going to include the recipt for my wedding dress, facebook statuses...maybe a letter from my in laws with their take on our marriage...

I'd like to hear about any more creative suggestions and examples of what you did.

Thanks so much for your help and input!

See page 20-22 of the OP 2 Manual for ideas...try and get something in each of those 4 interdependencies
