Hmm.

Mine was interesting to say the least.

Just as we were about to go upstairs to the Judge's 'chambers', the reception people pointed out a difference in the spelling of the ex's name on two docs, resulting in a race over to the British Embassy....and back !

Judge tried to extort ridiculous fee out of me to perform the ceremony (it is actually a small flat fee, and he is acting as a public servant).

I refused to pay it.

He then started doing the ceremony anyway, with the young girl who up to that point had been manicuring his finger nails waiting patiently next to him.

My best man(...an English expat of many years standing) was taking photos of the Judge helping to put the rings on, and then politely asked if the Judge's typist could do our Marriage Cert there and then (signed by him), so we could collect it later from downstairs.

This he did.

On the way down the stairs my friend and his Asawa (ex-wife's cousin) were having a bit of a giggle.

I just turned to my friend and said...."Hmm good of him to waive the fee", to which my friend replied..." Oh he didn't. I slipped $100 US under his ash tray, didn't you notice ?"

To which I replied "No I didn't, but thanks mate"

Him: "No probs Graham. It wasn't a real one".

I started walking FAST.
