It sounds so romantic, getting married on a Caribbean beach, a sun set backdrop, here and there a bird singing, the waves lapping at your feet. And your honeymoon can begin just seconds after you're officially married.
But are you officially married? A British couple who recently "got married" in the Dominican Republic are now unable to prove they're legally husband and wife because a resort clerk spelled their name wrong. On top of that, the travel agent (or someone--nobody wants to own up) lost the original marriage certificate. We reckon they should get a free holiday and a second go at getting married.

What did you do this weekend? Laundry, grocery shopping, maybe caught a movie? Great! But if you had been really ambitious, you might be greeting Monday morning hitched -- like British singer Amy Winehouse, who spent a week telling tabloids she was was just going on vacation and then got hitched this weekend at the Shore Club while Winehouse was in Miami for a photo shoot. She told us she wouldn't go to rehab (as detailed in her hit single), so her resolve had crumbled by "get married."
Winehouse got engaged to video music honcho Blake Fielder-Civil last month, although they have a history -- in fact, he inspired her break-up-shaded best-selling album "Back To Black." It only costs $93.50 to get a marriage license in Florida, though, and you don't have to be a resident -- pretty handy for those two Brits. No wonder Miami quickie vacation weddings are the new "we're getting married in Vegas".
