Doing marriages without a license?

Wait! Were you licensed by LL? If not that was illegal! You could go to jail! Sexual noobplay! Banned in Europe, Mexico and Alabama! /me calls his local newspaper and the prosecutor's office.



But not the pregnant ones. That's bad for the baby. My mom didn't start drinking until my brother and I were old enough to drive her to it.

Really?

On a good day, maybe three. After that it's like juggling beanbags.

If you need a license, I'll sell you one.

History and Legalities
Definition:
A proxy marriage is one where someone stands in for the other party. That is, either the bride or the groom is not physically present for the wedding. During the solemnization of the marriage, based upon a power of attorney, an agent acts on behalf of one of the parties.

History:
Marriage by proxy has been around a long time. One of the more famous proxy marriages was in 1810, when Emperor Napoleon married Archduchess Marie Louise by proxy. During the early 1900's, proxy marriages increased significantly when many Japanese picture brides arrived in Angel Island. During war time, proxy marriages are more common.
The term today, though, is primarily connected to computer servers, annual stock meeting voting, and Munchausen Syndrome.


Where marriages by proxy are allowed:
Four states in the United States allow proxy marriages: Calfornia, Colorado, Texas and Montana. California's proxy marriage law is limited to members of the armed forces who are deployed for conflicts or wars. Colorado's proxy marriage law is also limited in who can be married by proxy. Mexico and Paraguay also deal in mail-order proxy marriages.
Mexico: There are no residency requirements in Mexico. Although expensive, from $500 to $800, a proxy marriage can be arranged in one day, without travel, if you have a credit card.

Paraguay: Because of the current restrictive marriage laws, a number of Israeli couples are getting married by proxy or "mail-in" marriage through the consulate of Paraguay in Tel Aviv. According to Israeli law, the Interior Ministry must recognize and register these marriages.


Legal Recognition:
Whether a state or country will recognize a marriage by proxy is a tricky question that seems to depend on whether or not the law of the locale requires that both parties be present to apply for a license or to give their consent at the ceremony. Some states recognize a proxy marriage that was done in another state. Other states only recognize them as common-law marriage. U.S. military personnel may annul a proxy marriage provided there is no consummation, no cohabitation, or no treatment as husband and wife after the marriage ceremony.

Immigration Concerns:
Unconsummated proxy marriages are NOT recognized for immigration purposes in most countries, including the United States.
In Canada, proxy marriage is only recognized if the marriage was performed in a jurisdiction that allows proxy marriage.


Bottom line:
Marriages by proxy are not cheap, and they are not readily available. It is advisable that you contact an attorney before getting married by proxy to make sure your marriage will be considered valid.

For 1200L I'll consumate a marriage by proxy.

OK, I'm going to marry Bradley then. You can be my proxy.

That new service was in beta. As I put it into practice, I'm finding and fixing bugs. I think you just identified a major one which I intend to patch immediately.

Are you sure? 1200L is 1200L!

Coward.

If people talked like that to Linden Lab, they would NEVER get any bugs fixed.

(waits for someone else to drop the punchline)

I have a solution for this. I'm naming a proxy to fulfill my proxy duties. I elect you. You can do it.

For 1200 L$ I would consumate the marraige with Graph.


But I don't have 1200L$ on me ATM

Did Claire and Graph get married?

how can she be her own proxy?

She's my proxy. I'm her proxy. It all washes out.

I will GIVE you 1200$L!

Does Trout put the big PP in Proxy?

I guess that means no one is having sex with Bradley. I'm sure that he is deeply disappointed.

If you get enough proxies no one actually has to consummate anything.

/me can't bare to hear the answer

He can join Graph and I in a 3 way.

Somehow, I don't think Bradley would enjoy that at all.

But, more importantly, do I get 1200L?

If you Proxy for Trout and you Proxy for Brad you get $2400 and you don't even have to sleep with anyone.

Well she does, in a way...

you mean B.O.B. ?
