Nothing seemed out of the ordinary when Norfolk civil commissioner performed a wedding ceremony for the young couple ... except that later on they found out the bride actually wasn't a woman!
"Holy crap," Al Coward recalled thinking in Friday's paper. "They were very good, obviously. They fooled a lot of people."
Antonio Blount, 31, and Justin "Just Call Me Justine" McCain, 18, fooled Coward and the Newport News Circuit Court clerk who issued the marriage license March 24 for the same-day ceremony.
McCain (a.k.a.: the bride) looked every inch a lady, clerk Rex Davis said later, raising no suspicions he was "anything but a woman."
If McCain hadn't returned to the clerk's office two weeks ago to try to change his name legally, the bogus marriage might never have been outed.
Now, it seems like the two are in a whole bunch of trouble: http://www.dailypress.com/dp-local_tamara_0528may28,0,4213681.column
Maybe they need to employ sexers at the Court Office, to separate the gents from the ladies.
As for the wedded couple - whatever.
A bit dodgy, really.
