Marriage is a state of mind not a fact of law ,,,, Certificates and stuff like that are required by mans law and is for man not the two people that enter into this marriage ,,,,, Marriage is a spiritual and mental state ,,,,You could lose the rings or a fire could destroy the certificate but that does't change your marital status what so ever ,,,, Mans laws have gotten him into trouble too many times in the past and the masses just take for granted that if it's the law then it must be right ,,,, They don't give it a second thought as to whether the law is right or not ,,,, The marriage has already taken place in the minds of the two principles involved before the actual ceremony anyway or the ceremony wouldn't take place ,,,, The certificate and rings are what's required by man not God ,,,, The first marriage betweem man and woman was sacred vows made with each other before God ,,,, They didn't require anything else ,,,, They did it themselves between themselves ,,,, People today can do the same thing ,,,, As long as they exchange sacred vows between each other and live up to what they've sworn to then that's all it talkes ,,,, So if I were in your place I wouldn't put just too much importance on what man and his laws require ,,,, Because he was the law giver ,,,, I think it was Moses that was under pressure from the masses to establish and endorse the law that people could divorce ,,,, But Gods law says that there is no such thing as divorce so who's right here and who's wrong ,,,, Here again because of the hardness in mans heart a law was established by man to satisfy his wants and help him to feel blameless in over throwing Gods law where marriage is concerned ,,,, I mention this only as an example as to how man can hurt himself with his own laws ,,,, He has always thought his own laws carry more authority than Gods ,,,, He will have a rude awakening when he meets his maker on judgment day ,,,, Anyway back to your situation ,,,, I wouldn't put too much store in what people think ,,,,Man is too puffed up with himself and places too much importance and gravity on himself ,,,, The two of you will be married because you chose to be and man has nothing to say about it ,,,, You shouldn't live your life according to anyone elses dictates or opinions anyway ,,,,, No one can live your life for you and no one can make decisions for you either ,,,, People have a bad habbit of sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong ,,,, So do what's in your heart and forget about man and his opinions and laws ,,,, Unless you are taking food off of someones table or money out of his pockets or damaging his property or sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong or hurting someone else in any way then you aren't doing anything wrong ,,,, Do what you want to do and don't let man and his laws or his opinions bother you or dictcate what you do ,,,, Good luck ,,,, Yoda told you this ,,,
