Why are you saying such a horrible thing?
I’m so sorry. I did not mean to offend. I have always wondered if people were legally married right at the conclusion of a church service or if it waited for the paperwork to be filed to be completed, as in being signed and filed with local government. I did not intend to take away from the tragedy of the event.
I have looked and still see mixed opinions as to whether a person is legally married after a church service if the paperwork is never filed before they die in a misadventure or other tragic circumstances.
