Did Claire and Graph get married?
Not yet...
From: James Michael Morane
/me can't bare to hear the answer
James, are you sweet on my girl? Don’t be shy, I don't get mad about things like that, she is a desireable lady, so I do understand. (Claire, you are a desirable lady!!!)
From: Yosef O’Kelly
He can join Graph and I in a 3 way.
Yosef, just to keep the record 'strait' (poor choice of words on my part Brad, no offence intended) Brad and I are friends, but we are not that kind of friends...and no Yosef, I am not going to 'consummate' with you.

Ummm, in most states you have to have a license of that state that is witnessed, signed by witnesses, then by a person performing the marriage....then it must be filed within a certain period of time to the appropriate state assigned governing body for recording and retention. Licenses are state/county/city issued and there is usually a residency requirement to meet if not blood tests or other requirements for a license.
In Colorado, and a few other states, Common Law marriages are recongnized. All you have to do is present yourself as man and wife and comingle funds. At that point, you are married in the eyes of the state and either couple can demand support and/or division of property, etc... when the relationship ends.

Comingling of funds could easily happen if you get an SL place together, both people helping to buy the land and paying tier - RL dollars involved here. Then all it would take is a declaration by them both IRL that they are man and wife and there you have it - someone is screwed from that moment on (and not necessarily screwed in a good way).
:D

There are usually time requirements for those as well. So if you date someone for a couple years and comongle funds, you still aren't common law husband and wife. I don't know what the minimum time is, but it's a while if I recall correctly. I'm pretty sure that a SL common law marriage wouldn't have any weight in real life. It wouild be interesting to see someone try to get it to work that way, but I doubt it will succeed.

It is actually a common misconception that you must live together for a certain amount of time before it can be common law. It is also a misconception that if two people do live together for a certain amount of time, they are automatically common law married. In most states, time isn't really an issue at all. In Colorado, the only requirements are that you live together and present yourself, in some way, as husband and wife to others. http://www.unmarried.org/common.html

The problem, as it applies to SL though, is that most states do have cohabitation as one of their requirements and I doubt that SL cohabitation would fit that mark no matter how hard you tried. It would, however, be a much more interesting court matter than some of the really dumb things that people currently take to court.

Of course you wouldn't. Why would you even consider giving her the time of day? A beautiful, naked woman walks up to you and the first thing you do is check your watch? Nope, opportunities like that don't come around very often.

Personally, I'd give her a sweater or a robe. Why is she naked? Was she robbed? House burn down in the middle of the night? Maybe someone slipped her a mickey and left her for dead in a ditch somewhere. Holy smokes! We need to get her some help and alert the authorities. There's a MADMAN on the loose! EVERYBODY RUN!

One week without the net in the evening and Ive been married off, rated, got a free sweater(jumper) or robe :D, had my house burgled and burnt down, dumped in a ditch, have walked around naked, and spoken to a guy who isn't phased by my apparent nakedness?
:eek:
Oh! and my bf is now with Yosef and Bradley! :confused:
lol
I really think I need to get inworld tonight

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Um, no? If you two are already married off, you don't need any more proxies.

No pics=no rating. Did I miss something again? I swear, I don't think I get half the stuff people send me. And for the record, I had a proxy. I have no idea who Graph is close with, but it isn't me.
