marriage certificate

went to the town hall for the 15th arrondissement with p, to get an official statement saying that our marriage certificate was still valid. this was necessary for my official papers. i brought p. along, to prove that we were still married, and expected long lines and a wait to get it. we were surprised on several levels. firstly, that it really didn’t take too long, (though of course there were a few back and forths, having been sent to the wrong place etc). but mostly surprising because no one ever asked for p’s id. so i went in to get proof that i was still married to p, and got it, without ever presenting proof that the person i was with was actually p. just a formality...
