Handfasting Ceremony But Fiance Is Still Legally Married
My fiance has been locked up for 15 years. We lost contact for some years. He and his ex-girlfriend got together and got married while he was locked up. She claims to have lost the marriage lisence. Now he and I are ready to get married, now that he's home with me. She has announced they are married and he needs to file for a divorce first and then we can get married. This might sound real dumb to many, but to him and I, we are already married, we need no paperwork to prove our love. I am Wiccan and he is Muslim. We simply want to have a handfasting between he and I, my dear friend I call a father and mother and a few friends. First, is this wrong and second, could someone please help me with vows to let him know he is the one that completes me? I have waited 15 years for my soulmate to return to my side, now he is here I want nothing/no one to take him away. I will love him until Father God and Mother Earth Takes my last breathe. He is my heart, my mind and he is the reason I wake each day with a smile on my face. He is the reason I feel the warmth in my heart. He completes me 100%.

Your fiance is still legally married and needs to get a divorce before the two of you can be legally married too. I know you say that you don't need paperwork but there are many issues, legal issues, which possibly you have not considered. I would seek some legal advice on this before moving forward.
My question for you to ponder is, if your fiance loves you and is totally committed to you, why no divorce? I would think you'd have that always looming overhead. Just something to consdier and to discuss with your man.

I would say you should use some of what you just said in you post. What you wrote sounds like a good description of how you feel.
