Is it wrong to have a non-legal ceremony? NOW I NEED A BEST MAN TOAST!!!!

Bahahaha @tiedaknot, I was thinking the saaaaame thing....

@Amy or she's sittin back watching the thread explode thinking...."look what I can do"

No. The state could see this as fraud. If monetary gifts are exchanged, they were invited to a wedding via an invitation, and it LOOKS like a wedding.

Tabatha, you haven't done the research to support what you're saying here. As someone who could lose her whole practice over something like this, I have.

Omg so sorry you have to experience this. But in the state of Florida(maybe other states as well) he can sue her for a divorce may take a little time but it will get done. Thats what I had to do and he just got tired of the process and signed the papers. Free lady over here lol. Honestly I would call it a commitment ceremony if you cant reschulde everything sure you will miss out on some of the money you have already paid in but atleast you know your ceremony will truly mean something to you and FI as well as your guest.

I just seen what tidedaknot said about as an ex wife lol. You are sooooo right my ex had his gf thinking it was me and she approached me about it. I died laughing in he face and said baby it aint me look up the court info. Needless to say she was pissed and left him because he kept telling her the reason they couldnt get married is because I wasnt trying to get a divorce I was trying to hold on bol yeah right.

Tiedaknot.....LMAO.....I am not the crazy one. That would be his current wife. She is freaking certifiable. Me....I am most definetly the "biatchy ex wife". Sometimes being a bitchy ex wife is the only thing an ex has left when her ex hubbie refuses to see his sick child. lolol No, I am not saying the ex is right for holding up the divorce.

Okay...this is what I am not getting. Where the hell did this dude find his attorney? Walmart?

@Carole...I think Deals or Dollar Tree =)

Lol

Walmart. BOGO.

HAHA Carole! He might have I mean you pretty much can find anything at Wal-mart these days! This lawyer must have been cruising the wedding aisle!

Depends Alert, ladies!!

I think I am seriously starting to smell bullshart!

Sharon here again...I did write a statement for the Dj to read and my friend with the problem is ok with it. My big question is regarding fraud if we accept gifts for the wedding. Her issue seems to be how she will look as a party to what she calls "fraud."

Celia Milton- With all due respect I asked someone who does weddings a pastor.. so yeah. I did. And I've seen it done. Once in a circumstance much like this. Words are words unless there is a license or a document for the state. Much like a rehursal they say it but they leave stuff out or it's just words then because it's not done.

But she's doing it ANYWAY so why talk about it anymore??

On page 2 she told us all she was doing and having the DJ announce something before the wedding. So at least she's telling them.

I would like everyone to know I like apple sauce and sister wives and at this point.. this is just silly willy.

*giggles*

SHARON, COULD YOU PLEASE TELL US WHERE YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND IS IN ALL THIS?!?

OMG...seriously.....I use to only pi$$ myself when I sneezed....now I laugh and bad things happen =)

@Mrs S...he's in the aisle at Wally World! Damn girl, where you been??? LOL

@Tabatha...I like cottage cheese!!!!

Is the DJ reading this statement BEFORE the "ceremony"?

What wording is the "officiant" using so that this isn't worded as a Wedding ceremony?

Have you read any of the comments or links that have been posted about how this IS FRAUD if things are not done/said properly?

Sharon Hi! Welcome to your post ... I like sister wives. Do you watch that.

The current wife can indeed bring it up in court. http://www.divorcenet.com/states/florida/fl_art05

Whether the ball rolls one way or the other at that point will depend on how the judge sees it.

@ Foot - Cottage cheese is indeed yummy. Do you like low fat or small or large curd?
