After realising he was still legally married, Charlene and David last year began the process to ensure he was divorced in time for them to marry by December 17 - the fifth anniversary of their first date, reports the Echo.
Couple heartbroken as dream wedding cancelled after they made a vital error A couple have been left "heartbroken" after being told they won't be able to get married on their chosen date - because one of them isn't officially divorced.
David's previous marriage from 1992 to 1999 meant the couple required his decree absolute - the official divorce document - to proceed with their wedding.
The issue first arose when nurse Charlene tried to marry David, who works as a taxi driver, last year.
A decree absolute dated December 11 2024 shows that David's first marriage has now legally ended.
