she didn't consent, though, did she?
i thought you had to do a la Kathryn Howard and Francis Dereham - call each other husband and wife in front of many, he gave her money to look after whilst he was away, and have intercourse in bed together?
what constituted an irregular marriage then?
that was in the days when a nobleman could handfast his daughter to her groom and they would sleep in bed together and ask questions later.
