WATERTOWN, N.Y. -- Her fiancée got cold feet, but a Watertown woman still wanted to go ahead and marry her soldier anyway. Police say Jennifer Stark, 20, forged a marriage license.

City Clerk Donna Dutton says Stark and her fiancée were issued a marriage license on Monday. Dutton says the next day, the soon to be groom called to make sure that he didn't have to get married even though he had the license. On Wednesday, Dutton says Stark came in with the suspicious marriage license.

Since the office was aware of the soldier's cold feet, they contacted the police and Stark was arrested.

Stark has been charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument, offering a false instrument for filing and obstructing governmental administration.
