Not in the UK yet, due to moving issues and family issues over here on the US side
but my story is a twist on the US-girl-meets-UK-boy story.
I married the boy next door (well, up the street) in the US, and found out he was British after the wedding. His father is British, but we didn't know about citizenship by descent until my BIL mentioned something in passing one day. ("Did you know we're British, too? I read this website...") Hours of turning my eyeballs square reading the Home Office website, among others, and accompanying research later, DH got his maroon passport and we armed ourselves for the Spousal Visa Experience.
I can't complain, though, after weeks lurking on here and reading about how difficult it is for people to move over when they have no claim to citizenship, I felt almost guilty when one of my first posts here said basically "so...citizenship by descent...is it REALLY this simple?" Actually getting his very first UK passport, from the US, as an adult, even with proving his right to citizenship, was faster and not much more complicated than getting our son's first US passport.
I've never been an anglophile, exactly, but spent a good chunk of my childhood in Europe and especially have very fond memories of several Christmases in London (I collected Harrods bears as a kid
.) So when DH decided he'd love to get back to the Land of His Fathers, I thought it was a great idea. We want very badly to be over there, as we want to be near family and friends and are hoping to convince FIL to move back, too. We're taking his grandson with us, and he's always whinging about how much he misses London, so we think we've got a good chance.
