Ammon News - A 42-year-old Texas man discovered he was married to his ex-fiancée without his knowledge when the marriage certificate arrived at his home — just days after the pair broke up.
Kristin Marie Spearman, 36, is accused of sending her ex a gift bag from Bath & Body Works that contained some “products” and a copy of an officiated marriage license with their names on June 13, according to Fox 44.
Spearman allegedly also included a photo of herself holding up the document that legally recognized their relationship.
The spooked victim, who is not being named by authorities, admitted that the pair were in a relationship around June 2 when they went to the county clerk’s office to receive a marriage license.
Both parties “must appear in person” and have valid identification to receive an application for a marriage license, according to McLennan County’s website.
Spearman and her ex-fiancé never made it to the altar. The pair got into an argument when the victim allegedly claimed he didn’t want to be in a relationship with her anymore.
Beverly Hills Police Chief Kory Martin claimed Spearman went behind the victim’s back and convinced a pastor to certify a marriage, even though the man wasn’t in attendance or even aware of a ceremony.
“I don’t think in 23 years I’ve ever heard of anybody who managed somehow to get married to someone who wasn’t present for a ceremony,” Martin told the outlet. New York Post
