We were married (or so we believed) in NYC in June 2010. Unfortunately, in recent days it emerged that there was a problem with our celebrant's registration with the city clerk.
As far as we know this is still not yet resolved. We cannot get any response from the celebrant or the company he acted on behalf of, but we would assume that, as our clebrant was not registered our marriage is not valid.
One of the worst parts is that we hired a yacht for the ceremony and travelled from Ireland to NYC with a number of guests from various parts of Europe- as you can imagine this is incredibly embarassing and really distressing. It also means that I can't simply turn up at their offices so they can ignore us.
I am having great trouble finding out what our rights are and what the celebrant's responsibilities are so I was wondering would any one be able to give me some advice on what I can do or who I can contact about this.
Any guidance from fellow members would be really appreciated as really don't know where to turn.
