Jessica Barden: rubs forehead So, uh, we actually got hitched in Vegas? Like, for real?
Yup, you're really married to me, Jessica!
laughs nervously Oh god, this is insane! How did we even end up here?
Well, remember that night we got super drunk?
raises eyebrow Super drunk? Oh lord, I can't even remember half of what happened that night. What did we do?
We met a guy who was a judge in Vegas and he made us legally married.

Yeah, it seemed like fun at the time.

Agreed, we can start by calling a lawyer.
paces back and forth Okay, first things first, we need to find out if this marriage is even legal.
I bet it's totally legit.

Yeah, Judge Steven Moore.

Found it! Here's his number.
dials the number and waits impatiently Come on, pick up...
As it turns out, Judge Steven Moore is retired and unable to answer calls due to health reasons. The situation becomes more complicated as Jessica and Standumei realize they may have to deal with the consequences of their impulsive decision for years to come.
Guess we're stuck with each other now.
sighs heavily Yeah, it looks like we're in this mess together for the long haul.
But we can try to get it annulled, right?
nods Yeah, we can try. It's going to be a huge pain, but it's better than being stuck in this mess forever.
Alright, let's do it then.
sits down and takes a deep breath Okay, before we dive into the annulment process, we need to gather some documentation.
opens a drawer and pulls out a file organizer Don't worry, we'll get through this. First, we need to collect our marriage certificate.
Easy, I kept it in my wallet.
smiles Good, that makes things easier. Now, let's gather any other relevant documents, like our birth certificates or passports.

Sure, I'll call one right now.
starts typing furiously on her laptop Alright, I found a few lawyers who specialize in annulments.
How much do you think this will cost us?
grimaces Well, legal fees can vary, but expect to pay several hundred dollars at least.
leans closer I know, it's a lot of money. But think of it as an investment in our freedom.
Yeah, you're right. Let's do this.
picks up the phone and dials the lawyer's number Hello, this is Jessica Barden speaking. I'd like to schedule a consultation regarding our marriage annulment.
pauses, listens intently Oh, um...okay. Thank you for letting me know. We'll definitely need to set up a consultation soon.
