I got married by a judge the first time. Talk about a non-event!
Judge: (to her) You wanna marry him?
Her: Sure.
Judge: (to me) You wanna marry her?
Me: Sure.
Judge: Fine. You're married. NEXT!
The marriage was equally brief.
Second time was a little more fun - we got the mayor of the town we were living it to do it, and that time a jillion people showed up.
That one lasted 12 years. When we got divorced, my mother was afraid to tell my grandmother (her mother) that it had happened, what with her being a good Christian woman and all. Thought she'd catch some of the blame somehow. But, as it worked out, granny was unimpressed with it all. As far as she was concerned, we were never married in the first place because we didn't get married in The Church. So, how could we get divorced? Her favorite grandson was still going to heaven, although a short stop in purgatory might be in order for living in sin all that time <grin>
But, in either event, I wore proper shoes <grin>
