Ive read how people have included dozens of pages of photos, scans of boarding passes, e-mail copies, etc. to prove their relationship and I am a little bit worried.

My wife and I have been married for 15 years. We have plenty of photographs, but other than a few e-mails, we haven't really kept many things like boarding passes. How much should we actually be including in our application? How much detail should there be in the answers?

For example, from IMM5490:

Q6. I have no documentary proof from our first meeting. We simply met at a friend's party.
Q9. I assume this is how the relationship developed from the beginning to now. I gathered up about 20 photos of us, us with kids, that spanned the time of the relationship. I added a shared Eurail pass and some tickets to a World Cup game, and thats it.
Q15. A few photos from the ceremony and an invitation to the wedding with our names on it.

Q24. My wife always lived with me. This question has me confused. How do I answer this?
Q25. Same as 24.

How are Q15 and Q18 different?
 
I had no proof of our first meeting either. I don't document every meeting I have. If you met at a party, then write that. CIC knows that people meet in different ways.

For 24 and 25, just put the truth. There's a space that says to explain why, so write that you live together. My spouse never came to visit me in Canada, so I moved to Russia to be with her.

15 and 18 are different. One asks about the actual wedding ceremony, so did you just go to city hall, or did you have a special location. For the reception, it's asking if you had the big dinner and dance, etc afterwards.

Just answer the questions honestly. You've been married for 15 years. Some pictures over the years will help show the passage of time.
