Odd Question

I'm watching TV and "I Almost Got Away With It" is about a con-artist that is very much like the guy from "Catch Me If You Can".  He pretended to a preist and all the people that he married were not really married because of it.  What would you do if you found out your preist was a con and you weren't really married?  Just thought this was interesting.

    I would punch him in the throat!  HAAA However, he would have to answer to the military first since that would be a very BIG deal to them.

    Honestly, I'd probably go get married at the court house? 

    Oh, I'd sue him too.

    I forgot about that point.  That's a wild card there.

    When would I find out I wasn't married? Would be years later or when the Marriage License didn't come back from the County? haha

    If it was soon after I would go to the Court house but if everyone else accepted we were married and we (H) was okay with it, then I would probably leave it be. I feel like if we did everything right (on our end) and in front of God, I think my God would know what was up and be okay with it too. lol

    It wasn't years later but it was months later so they probably had their paperwork by then.

    I guess I don't really understand how you could find out you weren't married once the marriage certificate came out.  Once it's issued I feel like they can't revoke it.  So if we were legally married but just then not considered married in the eyes of the church, we would probably just do a really small thing with the priest.  Small as in within his office if possible.

    I agree with Beach. If legally we were married I would just do a little ceremony with our pastor. Little meaning FI, me, and pastor.

    Did the county file the marriage license and give me a certified license? Because I think I would be just as mad as them as the guy. Although, that's quite an impressive charade. I would just do something small though. I would consider my wedding date the same and share the story with everyone.

    hmm... ehh...tough one. Considering we are getting married by a msgr, I don't think that he is a fake. But I'm willing to bet that it would be a valid marriage if he did the sacrament parts.  You don't need a priest to perform the sacrament, adeacon would work, and in extreme situations I'm sure a lay-person would work. After all it isn't the priest performing the sacrament... it is the bride and groom that are the main parts.

    Random note - FI actually knows Frank Abagnale Jr's (guy from Catch me if you can)son....and has met him before. It is a small world...
