Do NOT set your Wedding Date before the divorce is FINAL.
Obviously, you cannot get re-married if you have a pending divorce. However, you should not set the date to marry your one, true beloved, counting on the divorce to go through from your demented, soon-to-be-ex on time, every time.
Divorce is not Amazon Prime. There is no guaranty that it will be there with next day shipping. In fact, routinely, something occurs to delay the process. A signature page was left blank or someone forgot to notarize all of the documents. Sometimes the Court is not available on day 61 to enter it and sometimes people change their minds.
Matthew Thompson is a Mississippi divorce attorney and advises you to wait until the divorce is final before setting the date for wedded bliss.

In what is the most bizarre story so far this year, (sorry Charlie Sheen), a California Judge who oversaw a murder trial sentenced the convicted to 53 years in prison then performed a wedding!
After the trial resulted in a conviction for murder, the matter was reset for sentencing. The convicted was sentenced to 50 years for murder plus 3 years for intimidating/threatening a witness. After the sentence was handed down the Judge cleared the Courtroom, except for Court staff the convicted and his fiancée. The Judge then performed the wedding ceremony wherein the convict married his girlfriend, who he had rekindled his relationship with while he was in jail awaiting his murder trial. To top it off, the Judge baked the cake that he parties enjoyed after the ceremony. Reports indicate it was a frosted, vanilla Bundt cake. The judge sliced the couple each a piece prior to the ceremony, as reportedly, she was uncomfortable with a knife being around the convicted.
The victim’s family is understandably upset.
