Interestingly enough, the priest who married me and my wife had the nerve to be surprised (and say it) when he saw us a year later and we were still married. We celebrated our 36th anniversary last February. Excellent judge of character, that guy.
Wait.
You and your wife are married to a priest?
How does that work?
In the US, at least, the act of joining a couple in matrimony is called "marrying" them. Perhaps I could have used a different syntax. The priest actually didn't like me all that much, I could tell. When I was given that 3-month time schedule for people to say we couldn't be wed, I told him I could always go to a Justice of the Peace, but I deferred to my wife's preference of being married in a church. Or it might have been that I was in university and worked Saturdays and Sundays and hadn't been in a church in years. 
She wanted to get married on Valentine's Day (which we did) and I wasn't going to wait until the following year, not even for some church rule. So, it was two, not three months. Then he got the vows wrong, the tool. I didn't make a big deal out of it, as we were in front of a lot of people at the time.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banns_of_marriage
