Don't know if legally married, need help!

[Ros]

I am trying to find out info on how the marriage
certificate is suppose to be legally signed. As I
was looking at my certificate I notice, that me a my
husband signed in two places. The seal and Official sinature and where we were suppose to sign. Also Are witnesses never signed. Also I notice there isn't a state or county seal on the certificate, there one on the license only. I checked w/ Colorado county records and it says we are married, but is it legal is my question?

My response:

You're married. The Certificate is merely a "formality". A formality is not the measure of whether someone is married.

But, for just a moment, let's assume that the Certificate is defective and because of that, no actual marriage is recognized. Colorado is a "Common Law" marriage State. Therefore, if you and your husband have lived together for at least one day, and ever introduced yourselves as husband and wife to anyone else, then in that instance, you'd be married anyway.

In either case, the procedure for divorce, separation or annulment remains the same.

So, since the Certificate is a mere formality, and you had an Officiate marry you, along with witnesses to the marriage, you are, in fact, married - - and, it's legal.
