Morgenthau said the pair and 11 women were charged with perjury for lying on licenses for the bogus marriages from 1996 through last month. He said the 13 applied for 52 licenses to marry people from India, China, Egypt and other places.

Narvaez and Rivera met when she stood as a witness in at least two of his weddings, Morgenthau said. Their wedding plans were stymied by a routine check of their names at the city clerk's office, he said.

The frequent groom faces up to four years in prison if convicted of perjury, filing a false instrument and falsifying business records, Morgenthau said.

The habitual bride could face up to a year in jail if convicted of attempted perjury, attempted filing a false instrument and attempted falsifying business records, Morgenthau said.

Assistant District Attorney Leroy Frazer said that before the couple could get married, they would probably have to divorce the first people they married.
