I believe the entire wedding was a fairly quickly planned affair so perhaps they didn't lie about the venue but simple decided to hold it somewhere convenient without thinking too much about it. It's good to know that that could cause them trouble though, I'll let them know! | |

If the officiant were licensed in Ohio but not the other state, and in any case, if there wasn't a license to marry in the other state, they are probably not married, although if a marriage certificate issued anyway, that might be conclusive evidence of marriage that it is too late to vacate. In the alternative, if they spent time as a couple holding themselves out as such in a common law marriage state that might cure the defect. | |
