US Citizen Married in Canada? You may only THINK you're married...

I know! It's awful, they were selling wedding packages for folks to come here to get married.

One of the states in the US adopted the rule that one of the parties had to be a citizen residing more than one year.

I have NO idea how Canada is going to handle this or what the rules actually were. And if any rules were broken when these licenses were issued, whose fault is that!?

It's going to be a tax, custody and benefit nightmare if all these marriages are overturned. They cannot possibly realize the ramifications of making this happen.
