I don't know the processes that go with getting married but I do know you have to apply for the license yadda yadda yadda (a cue from my mental Emmett) Again comments welcomed for those of you who were interested or disgusted enough to read on

Chapter 2
Wedded Judge
"Hello we're here to apply for the marriage license for Rosalie Hale and Royce Baxter, you told me over the phone I would need to bring in the bride" Alice said to the old woman behind the desk.
"Yes dearie, if you would wait just a moment I'll let Judge Kramer know you are here" she smiled warmly at us before picking up her phone and calling Judge Kramer.
"Why do we need to see a judge?" I asked Alice who looked just as confused.
"I don't know, maybe Royce has another wife and he forgot" Alice joked. I snorted, could I really be that lucky?
"You can go on in, just through those doors, 3rd door on the right" the old woman smiled at us again.
"Thank you" Alice and I smiled heading in the direction she pointed. Once we reached the office the door was already open and a 50 something year old woman sat behind a large oak desk.
"Welcome Miss Hale, Ms. Brandon is it?" she asked glancing at her notes.
"Yes, I'm sorry I am just confused why we couldn't just get the ball rolling, I've never had to actually meet with anyone before" Alice explained shaking the judges hand.
"Oh yes. Please shut the door dear" Judge Kramer insisted and I did as she asked before taking one of the seats offered.
"What's the problem? I mean was Alice right? Does Royce have some Russian bride or something?" I asked a little nervous now. I don't know why I was nervous, I mean if there was a problem that kept me from marrying Royce I would likely jump for joy, but wouldn't she of wanted Royce to come in if that were the case?
"No dear, actually I cannot approve your application for a marriage license in the state of New York" she sighed looking directly at me. My eyes squinted in confusion, why not?
"I'm confused your honor the wedding is in a month and we need to have this squared away or Reverend Finch won't agree to the ceremony" Alice said tilting her head in thought.
"Well if Miss Hale is not aware of why her application is being turned down than I don't really know how to say this" the judge looked genuinely distressed and I couldn't help but clench my purse strap in my lap. "It appears you are already married"
"What?" I whispered, maybe I had heard her wrong but Alice had shouted the same question. I couldn't hear anything anymore, my ears were ringing and the judge looked sympathetic.
"WHO?" Alice shouted.
"Mr. Emmett Jason McCarty" Judge Kramer recited without looking at the marriage license that was now being set in my lap.
The room was spinning, getting darker, and as I now clutched the copy in my hand it went black.
