Sounds like the wedding is being handled as a celebrity event with concerns of the paparazzi and extra measures taken for security.

They have two little girls - why not wish them well? I've had it with sanctimonious and selfish twerps like you.<<

She has six kids, not just two, and a disgraced husband left in her wake. She spent more than seven years in prison for re-offending after she was convicted. While she was in prison she wrote Villi, threatening to cut off his balls if he looked at another woman. It's a perfectly "lovely" and caring relationship. I wish her children and her ex all the best.

They've seen all the worst.

Unlike some here, her ex has moved on with his life.

How long do you think it will last? I give it a year.

Just until she can find her next victim.

They'll get a divorce soon and she'll get child support untill she's what about 62? Great plan to suplement her teachers salery right up to retirement. Talk about double dipping, does she still teach too? I wouldn't be surprised.

---He won't be sick of her until he gets a job and starts meeting other women.---

He's 22. He's had plenty of chance to meet other woman. The circumstances of this particular union are bizarre, but it's not unusual for men of 43 to marry 22 year olds. Nor is it unusual for girls of twelve to be promissed in marriage to older men. I think it's the inversion of roles that galls people most. Just remember "All's Well That Ends Well".

I do agree however that this affair at it's inception was a breech ethical and moral behavior.

Yes he has, he moved far away, at great expense, and raised their four children without their mother. He endured charges by Mary Kay of spousal abuse...and so many other disgusting things that happened in the original case.

If moving on says let them find jobs and try to eke out a living in disgrace, cool. If moving on says let them be heroes, you are wrong. Absolutely and positively.

If in your world view, it is appropriate for ET to pay them $750,000 to put the wedding on TV, and watch a child rapist marry her victim, okay. Personally I think is it inappropriate for criminals to profit from their crimes. Kind of a radical idea don'cha think?

But if you like move on idea. Those that fail to remember history are doomed to repeat it.

So? It's not set in stone that the man has to be older than the woman he plans to marry. It's only unusual for some who cannot grasp the concept of true love, and decide to call it whatever they want, even if it means calling it "bizarre".

So, if a 34 year-old male teacher left his wife and kids, had sex with a 12 year old student and got her pregnant, was sent to prison for rape, then got the teenage girl pregnant again (while out on parole?), that would be okay, as long as the loving couple lived "happily ever after"?

I do agree however that this affair at it's inception was a breech ethical and moral behavior.<<

It was a class A felony. Murder is a class A felony. She was his teacher, that ups the culpability. He was forced into her classroom and was vulnerable at eight years of age. She GROOMED him.

So in the current United States where is is usual to promise girls of TWELVE to men in their thirties?

Of course if you want to talk Shakespeare, when the age of dying was thirty something, marrying at fifteen or so would let walk down the aisle with your daughter. Forty would not.

They were reincarnated and have shared their lives...she's a nut. She is not to be made into something she is not. Mary Kay is not a ROLE MODEL. Being paid $750,000 means she is a ROLE MODEL. Many people would love to be paid $750,000 for the video rights to their wedding.

The inversion of the roles is clear. Mary Kay would never have been allowed to enter the SODA program, she was totally inappropriate. Didn't she reoffend (with pager help from a friend) in under a week?

Guys don't get this kind of media attention. THEY GO TO JAIL.

If he was a boy toy that decided his fate after 18 I might be inclined to agree with your ideas on post adulthood relationships.

Girls of twelve...you have a problem. They are children.

What part of "I do agree however that this affair at it's inception was a breech ethical and moral behavior." don't you understand? In either case it's an ethical breech of the student-teacher relationship, a moral breech of the bonds of matrimony, and a legal breech of the child-adult codes.

That was then. Now it's just a bit unusual.

At least now their union is no longer sinful...or illegal.

No longer illegal, yes. No longer sinful? For a rapist to continue to manipulate and prey upon a victim is certainly no path to Heaven.

LOL! Always amazing what ticks off certain folks.
This duo's lives have no bearing on mine and therefore I don't give a rip.

The ex-husband is glad to be rid of her, and the new guy is apparently glad to have her.

Feel sorry for her other four children. They had it tough, thanks to her.

Under what grounds would you ban the marriage or prevent their profiting?

Exactly. They'll get married, and I will be caring for my Grandmother who has Alzheimers.

After the "I do's" are said they won't need to buy any vowels.

Ah! I knew there was something strange about these two, just couldn't put my finger on it.

Mary Kay spent 7 years in prison and she will always be a registered sex offender.

This Billy wants to marry her and they have 2 little girls.

Wht not wish them well?

As for the money some idiotic TV show is shelling out --- there must be an audience, huh?
