Today, I almost got married. After the elaborate and very expensive wedding, my "husband" decided he did not want to sign the marriage license because he wasn't sure if he really wanted to settle down after all. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after months of arguing and conflict, I broke up wIth my fiancé. Or at least, I tried to. The wedding's off, but only until he can convince me to want to marry him again. FML
Today, I married the love of my life. I was ecstatic until the wedding reception, where my new husband got drunk and started crying about how he'd been "forced" into marrying me. FML
Today, my fiancé told me that he was having second thoughts on our engagement. Instead of just calling it off, he took me to a fancy restaurant and took a public poll on whether we should get married. The majority said no. FML
Today, I was in the car with my boyfriend. After telling him how much I loved him, he asked me to marry him. When I said yes and started crying, he said he wasn't sure if he really wants to get married. FML
Today, I asked my fiancé if we could get legally married at the courthouse before we had the big wedding ceremony, just to quell my irrational fear of being left at the altar. He agreed, then didn’t show up at the courthouse. Nightmare realized. FML
Today, while talking on the phone with my long-distance boyfriend, he let me know that he was getting married in August to "some girl" for his papers. After I objected, he told me, "Well, you can marry me if you want." I'm not sure if I just got dumped or proposed to. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted he didn't want to marry me, not because he doesn't want to spend his life with me, but because he'd seen two friends get ruined by divorce settlements, and he "doesn't want my hooks in him." I love him with all my heart and would never dream of pulling a marriage con. FML
Today, I got married to the man I love even though my whole family told me not to marry him. He got into a drunken fight at our wedding and is now in jail. He apparently won't be getting out any time soon due to charges I didn't know about. FML
Today, I found out the man I've been wanting to marry for a year and a half wants us to take a break. FML
Today, at our wedding, instead of saying "I do", my fiancé paused before saying, "I can't do this", stepped down from the altar and proposed to my maid of honor. When she obviously refused, he ran from the venue bawling. He's not returning my calls. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He might have saved you trouble in the future. If that's how he felt, but signed the liscense, you guys might have gotten divorced anyway a few years from now. And, hey, you guys can always make it official later if he does finally decide to commit.... if you're still together, that is. ;)

Now that you've got the bigassed wedding you always wanted out of the way, you can concentrate on finding somebody worth marrying.

Maybe you shouldnt have pressured him INTO marriage in the first place? Automatically everyone assumes the guy is an ass without knowing all the facts. Too many women pushing marriage to secure THEIR happily ever after fairytale future.

What makes you think she pressured him? =/ Could be he just got cold feet... =/ OP: FYL.

i find it hard to believe that she had NO idea that he was having second thoughts until after the ceremony. that is, unless she was on the crazy wedding train and completely focused on the ceremony and reception instead of the marriage.

If this is real, that sucks. But I do sense a fake FML here. In Ohio, you must sign a marriage license at least a month before the wedding ceremony. In some counties it might be a little less, but nonetheless you must have a license in order to have an ordained minister perform the ceremony. I'm assuming since you said 'elaborate and expensive' you didn't just have a clerks' office wedding...so yeah.

In some places you don't need a marriage license that early and you don't need it signed before the ceremony... you can sign after the wedding, although a lot of people do it before.

Well that's why I said in Ohio you can't. so this can't be true. If you'd notice, OP is from Ohio.

IF you almost got married, it wouldn't make him you're husband!

which is why it says "husband" in quotation marks...and it wouldn't make him YOUR husband...not you're -_-

well you're lucky to have gotten that far. I'm a 23 year old virgin male that has never had a long term relationship with anybody who cared for me like that.

.....I'm pretty sure you sign the license before the ceremony.

As someone who got married last year and has been to heaps of weddings, I can assure you that you sign everything at the end of the wedding ceremony.

Different state. OP lives in Ohio, you must sign before wedding.
