Mistaken Marriage vowes.

How would you deal with being married by mistake? I was sitting by a sister today and asked her if she was married. She looked at me funny and then said: I was by mistake and then it took me a year to get it annulled. She was at the court house with her bosses son who is in the USO. He needed to get to the court house to find out some information before getting shipped off that afternoon. It was near closing time for the court house. Hardly any one there. They found a judge and he misunderstood them for another couple and asked to see their ID. Asked them if they would swear that was who they were and then the judge announced them husband and wife. I am sure there was more to the story than that, but that was the gist of it. They had to go up stairs to another section of the court house to get the paperwork to annul what the judge had just done. It became a long drawn out problem and because the young man had to ship out for duty that evening, the young women was stuck with the red tape paper mess and had a very difficult time catching up with the young man because he had been shipped all around the country. After a year it was finally taken care of. So her legal name had his name on the end of hers for a very long year. She hardly even knew the guy, and was just being nice when she offered to take him to the court house that fateful day.
