There are a few things that can really spoil a wedding. Someone shouting 'I Object', is always a downer. One of the guests shows up in a much more impressive white dress than the bride is pretty rude too. But finding out the fiancé is already married has to take the cake.

One anxious woman has taken to a forum on Mumsnet to ask if she is being unreasonable with her reaction to her fiancé's news. After being together for 4 years, and finally getting engaged, her finacés ex-wife reached out to let her know about the situation.
Nine years ago her fiancé split from his ex-wife, but they never finalized the divorce. Since then, he met the upset woman and got engaged again without legally divorcing his ex. Now, she has taken to the forum to ask if she's right to be angry with him.
She wants to know what the measured response would be. According to the still-married man, he simply forgot, although that sounds unlikely. He has two children with his ex-wife and surely has some financial and legal ties with her.

The majority of answers are, understandably, on her side. Yes, she is absolutely within her right to feel angry that her fiancé was still married. And, yes, this is a legal issue on every level. Not only is he still tied to her financially by marriage, but it could also jeopardize the woman's financial safety.
One of the most informative and reasonable answers from a fellow mum is, "They are tied financially. If he dies intestate she gets everything and your joint finances may be taken into account for any financial order at this point. He needs to divorce her. That's clear."
I think that is the least her fiancé could do for forgetting to mention that he was married. He is going to owe her a lot of apologizing, and some serious explaining to justify how he 'Forgot.' I hardly see how it is possible to let something like that slip.
