In a plot twist worthy of a rom-com gone wrong, Kristin Marie Spearman married her ex-boyfriend without his knowledge, leading to an unlikely stalking charge and a gift bag from Bath & Body Works as unexpected evidence.

In a baffling turn of events that would make even the most absurd rom-com blush, 36-year-old Kristin Marie Spearman allegedly tied the knot with her ex-boyfriend, age 42, without so much as a text asking for his consent. The wedding was officiated by a local reverend—who apparently missed the memo on ‘it takes two to tango’—and discovered only when the bewildered victim stumbled upon a Bath & Body Works gift bag at home, proving that some love stories really do come with ‘fragrance notes of chaos’ and a side of felony stalking charges.

The saga began shortly after the couple parted ways, having last been in a romantic relationship in June 2025. It seems that Kristin may have interpreted 'taking a break' as a cue to take the plunge without an audience—or, you know, the actual groom. In a shocking twist, she managed to secure a marriage license and then inexplicably had a local reverend officiate the ceremony in her absence. Clearly, Kristin took an unconventional approach to wedding planning, but few would argue that this wasn’t perhaps a questionable choice.

The marriage certificate was then dutifully filed with the local clerk's office, enshrining this clandestine matrimonial event in formal records as if it were some sort of town holiday. One can only imagine the clerk's confused look as the papers were submitted. Often it is said that love is blind, but in this case, it seems the reverend might have been a little bit too much into playing Cupid without consulting the game’s main players first.

It's important to note that the victim, who was blissfully unaware of his new marital status, faced significant difficulties in addressing this surprising turn of events. The man found himself not only married without permission but also entangled in a legal mess that would make anyone want to return to singlehood—fast. He reportedly spent considerable time and money trying to extricate himself from this surprise marriage, which certainly wasn’t in his budget for the year.

Beverly Hills Police Chief Kory Martin expressed his disbelief regarding the unusual nature of this case, stating, 'While we've seen some peculiar situations in our time here, this definitely stands out.' This seems a delicate way to say that getting married without your partner’s knowledge is not exactly a standard Tuesday at the station. The humor isn’t lost on us—in some circles, it could be labeled as a 'unique approach to commitment.'

However, the most headline-worthy detail of this whole affair is that Kristin was subsequently charged with third-degree felony stalking. The legal implications of her actions might make her reconsider her next romantic scheme. Perhaps a more conventional approach—flowers, dinner, or even an actual conversation—would attract less legal scrutiny while fostering genuine connection. Who knew that a Bath & Body Works gift bag could be the harbinger of not only fragrant memories but a trip to the court system as well?

As it stands, the legal woes may not reflect well on future relationship prospects for either party involved. On one hand, it's hard to fathom how Kristin moves forward from this incident without some serious self-reflection. And for the victim, one suspects that his next girlfriend will go through a complete background check before any gifts from Bath & Body Works are in the picture. After all, some lessons can only be paid for in the currency of truly bizarre life experiences—you really can’t put a price on that.
