...something exceptional that happened? Both time I married was in front of a judge. The first time I really didn't want to get married but really felt bad because the guy seemed really hurt. Being young and dumb, I went trhu with it but found myself laughing uncontrollably as I couldn't believe I was doing such a stupid thing...the judge asked if I was nervous and I just said, "Yeah." I spent the next several years trying to get out of that disaster of a marriage and swore I'd never marry again. Nine years later I met a wonderful man and once again found myself in front of a judge after telling this guy "No" for a year. I insisted on standing on his right hand side as he had two failed marriage behind him and I had one ... so I figured if we switched sides, maybe it would work. The judge found it humorous and my man was shaking like a leaf throughout the entire process. The judge asked HIM if he was nervous and he said, "Everytime I get in front of a judge it ends up costing me money" and HE wanted to get married!
 
I cried hysterically through the whole catholic service...and when the Priest gave out communion, he asks all to come up and receive Holy communion, and My Brother in law to be, started up The isle, He was the Best man. The priest said to him: Oh No...You Sit Down! because the night before the ceremony, at the rehearsal, he went to confession ,and told the Priest He was living with his Girlfriend!!! Can you believe it! The whole congregation broke out laughing! Here I was living with My husband to be , I chose not to go to confession thank god!!!
 
I was married in a traditional church wedding, small with four attendants total, but nice. The reception was held in the church basement & the ladies group, decorated throughout, & made/served all of the food themselves. The cake was from a local bakery. I was very upset when I learned that my husband's sister-in-law, served the top layer of cake, instead of removing it so we could follow tradition, by freezing it, & eating it on our first anniversary. I guess some people are out of the loop when it comes to following traditions. Other than that, all went well. We remained married for thirty eight years, & during that time, we three sons were born. We divorced amicably, & have remained very good friends.
 
The first time, I was in NC. As I walked to the chapel, a lady zipped by in her car & yelled, "you'll be sorry". It wasn't said meanly. The Southern minister kept refer to me as "sister Clark". My name has never been Clark! If I'd had any sense I would have left right then. But NO I wasn't the smart! Less than 7 years later I divorced him. I think it was the 7year itch!
