[Image descriptions in order: screenshots of a text conversation between two people, who will be called “grey” and “blue” based on the colour of their messages. The conversation says:
Grey:I just got back from my school and they said they cannot give me any aid except for unsubsidised loans unless I have a child, get married, or turn 24, so I have to get married
Blue: Yeah ok I’ll marry you I need a better fafsa application too
Grey: Would you really do it
Grey: Im doing actual research on it]
Grey: It would have to happen like lightning fast cause my next semester happens pretty damn soon
Blue: I don’t know how fast this happens lemme check
Blue: Ughhhh okay so we’d need to get a marriage license which can be up to $30 depending on where we get it, and THEN we need to file for a marriage certificate
Blue: I’m an ordained minister but idk if I could file my own marriage certificate
[Blue, the first half of the message cut off: …get ordained and do it
Grey: Can we go to Indiana?
Grey: Its possible that I can get FAFSA to pay for an entire apartment for me to go to school in Milwaukee
Blue, the bottom of the message cut off: Okay so there’s no minister registration required in Illinois so…]
[Blue: Yeah I’m looking that up right now
Grey: Ive heard that if one partner commits adultery, thats grounds for a quicker divorce
Blue: Yeah this sample form I’m looking at says “irretrievable breakdown” of marriage
Blue: Worse comes to worse we can stage a fight but I think we can just say yeah it’s not working out
Grey: Does it include adultery]
[Grey, top half of message cut off: divorce ranging from $15,000 to $30,000. Most of this money is spent on legal fees.
Blue: We don’t need a lawyer
Blue: We don’t have kids we don’t have property to divide up
Grey: Oh thats only for a lawyer
Blue: We don’t have alimony to negotiate
Blue: We’re just two guys being dudes. Gettin a divorce]
