That's illegal in the U.S. you know, so that renders this question invalid. Plus, it's just sick.
Actually, if you have your parents permission, you can get married at that age. But I agree, it is sick.
couldn't you have done this with a parent and child instead of bride/groom? it gives me the willies...
How many pigs did he have to trade for her? Isn't that how it works in hillbilly country? 
My last comment was not directed at you, Yanivster. 
TOO easy, does not live up to your other great teasers. However it was still a bit of fun
The math is good
Of course this marriage wouldn't happen. It is illegal over here in the UK. EVEN WITH your parents permission. I got the answer right though

WAIT! why can't 5 and 15 work????????????????????? it works! even though that is way beyond gross! 
5 and 15 works just right that's what i got.
5 and 15 works just right that's what i got.
never mind ignore my last comment.
no 5 and 15 dont work as 15 yrs later their ages will be 20 and 30 which does not have the required ratio of 1:2 (2:1 reversed)
and yes marriage at 15 to a 45 year old is sick
and yes marriage at 15 to a 45 year old is sick
thats so disturbing...
what 15 yr old marries a 45 YEAR OLD MAN AND NOT HER BOYFRIEND FROM SCHOOL. HOW LONELY IS SHE????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ewwwwwwwwww... i didnt even consider something that wrong as a possibility.
I agree that it should be a parent/child teaser as opposed to bride/groom.
