That was quick. A young couple named Trey Bell and Clara Bell claims that they got married after dating for just two weeks. I’ve got no concerns to raise about their decision to live together legally after seeing each other for two weeks. What matters is love and understanding. Once they love each other and think they are on the same path, all I can say is congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Bell.
Clara Bell, 18, and Trey Bell, 20, tied the knot in a dreamy Florida beach wedding with a $200 service – just three hours after deciding to get hitched. Teenage bride Clara, from Louisville, Kentucky, announced her impromptu nuptials on TikTok on October 16, when she shared a video captioned ‘getting married in three hours, stay tuned’.
Follow-up videos featuring photos of the newlyweds embracing on the beach have received more than five million views and thousands of comments.
It’s possible to obtain a marriage license and wed the same day in Florida, but couples must have completed a pre-marriage course beforehand, or else there is a three-day wait. Clara and Trey have not explained when or if they took the course.
Clara and Trey, who make money through TikTok, had met and briefly dated in 2018 before going their separate ways. After reconnecting on Snapchat in September and spending two weeks together as a couple, the pair took a trip to Panama City in Florida and ended up eloping.
Clara Bell says that their families were shocked when Trey proposed to her, and she agreed to marry him after two weeks of dating. Every family would be shocked since it’s weird marrying a total stranger you’ve only known for two weeks.
‘When Trey first proposed the idea of getting married, I was pretty on board. I was like ‘That’s crazy’, but we did it. ‘Our families were certainly surprised. I hadn’t told my parents about Trey. So not only did I have to say I was married, I had to introduce them to my husband because they didn’t know him. ‘It was surprising in a shocking way, like ‘What?! You did what?!’
‘But they’re happy now. Trey met my parents; I’ve met his parents. They’re super happy for us now, but at the time, they were just shocked and confused. I wouldn’t say they were shocked in a bad way though.’
They said they did it because they wanted to guarantee their relationship worked, and this was the best way to do that. They will be in for a surprise down the line, but I do hope it works out.
