I am getting married on Saturday and my fiancé 's wife will not sign the divorce papers to be spiteful. One couple in my wedding party said they do not want to be part of the ceremony because it is a "fraud." I asked a lawyer and he said there is nothing illegal about having the ceremony and legalizing it later. My "friend" said I need to tell the guests it is not legal before the ceremony or she and her husband will not be part of it. I spent a lot of money on this wedding and don't think I need to cancel it when I am doing nothing illegal. How do I explain why they are not in it? We live in a small town and questions will be asked. Could my lawyer be wrong? HELP!

    LMAO Tiedaknot, that's hilarious. I just realized I only look at avatars, I don't look at people's names AT ALL.

    Giraffes probably don't have soon to be ex wives who are bent on holding up divorce proceedings with anything they can, or have lawyers though Smiley winking

    In Florida- The state constitution allows for freedom of speech, a trial by jury, and pregnant pigs to not be confined in cages.

    If I were a pregnant pig I'd want out of a cage.

    Did you know in Arkansas - A law provides that school teachers who bob their hair will not get a raise.

    The new avatar is for you tiedaknot! I put a pic but when I saw your challenge I had to do it! There have been a lot of questions about my FH. He doesn't care if we have a JP - he is letting me have the big she-bang because it is what I want. He had the big wedding last time and it didn't work out - obviously. He said "I have done the JP and the church. It doesn't matter to me."

    So, has your "officiant" sent over the commitment ceremony wording yet?

    ~ good luck with the divorce ~

    Congrats

    Sharon, I understand that part.

    But what does he think about the fact that you have everything planned for Saturday and it's such a mess and he cannot actually get married?
