Stéphanie Laporte will remember her marriage for a long time. This Bordelaise married her spouse, Thomas Gouritin, in October 2021 in Gironde. In wanting to establish a notarial deed several months later, the native of Bourges (Cher) makes a funny discovery: the birth certificate of her husband, originally from Avranches in the Manche, does not include any mention of their civil union. As reported South Westcivil status has actually “married” this entrepreneur, founder of a communication agency, to her husband’s twin.
His funny story has made the rounds on social networks. “Apparently they took the first Gouritin that appeared in their list. As a result, I am married to him, but it is his brother who is married to me, ”she told South West, after sharing his misadventure on Twitter. Problem: the brother-in-law in question is himself a PACS! “Not only does this error prevent us from making the donation to the last living person that we wanted to sign, but, in addition, it cancels the PACS of my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law”, explained the young bride, very embarrassed by these administrative hassles.
MY GOD but the civil status of the town hall of birth of my husband made a mistake in the papers and married me with his twin brother JE M’ETOUFFE

The town hall reacted quickly
However, this imbroglio should quickly return to order. According to West France, the confusion between the twins related only to the digital register of civil status. “Insofar as the paper register is good, there is nothing serious and no impact for the bride and groom”, insisted on specifying the municipality of Avranches, which sent a new birth certificate to the couple. With this time, the first name of the real husband registered in good and due form.
