My younger brother recently eloped to the Bahamas with his fiancee. The entire trip was planned and executed perfectly by a Sandals resort. However, upon their arrival back home to the states, the town clerk informed them that in Vermont's eyes, a marriage out of the state of Vermont is not legal. Though the federal government does view it as a legal marriage.
I don't understand the legality here... if it is a legal marriage per the federal government, how can Vermont turn around and say "sorry, but you're not married."
Sometimes I have to admit, I see Vermont's new slogan as --- "The land where progress is not allowed!"
