How to get married on the Brooklyn Bridge
Sunrise with a Surprise on Brooklyn Bridge it's iconic on the East and having been born in San Francisco California in 1965 near the world's most iconic bridge for several reasons, one is that it draws more suicides than any other bridge in the world, but strolling the Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise and witnessing two marriages I was tempted to run up and say don't do it as I married the guy who was born in Kings County and would know well about the Brooklyn Bridge and because he's from a dynastic wealthy family whose father Samuel Fortune Falk started the New York Institute of photography and I was unaware of what it meant when your husband was born with a trust ee gadz be very careful who you marry when you have been 13th stepped in a 12 step meeting in California and have no idea what a trust means until you are getting a divorce in 2005 which ends up becoming Federal Case 07-10865 two years later in 2007 and then your husband has to become the debtor and you are his creditor? Give me some credit. I got attorney's in New York and California in 2023 to explain my entangled marriage with my grifter family and so I would warn anyone getting married on a bridge where someone committed suicide the night before? Make sure that you know what you are entering into before you sign on the ceremonial dotted line. In my case in New York? I see the Brooklyn Bridge and I see ghosts.

They say 90% of people who walk the Brooklyn Bridge enter from Manhattan I wonder what percentage will still be married in a decade.
I do? Apparently there's nutbags coast to coast
Married on the Brooklyn Bridge
My grandmother used to say if everyone jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge would you do it too? To be fair? My grandmother was referring to being a born rebel and not following the crowd, and in San Francisco people fly from all over the world to that bridge to make their dying iconic. I wonder if the two couples in May I happened upon during a sunrise walk on the Brooklyn Bridge weren't trying to make their marriage iconic? Give me the choice? Marriage on the Brooklyn Bridge or Jumping on off the Golden Gate? What's the difference.
Weather Permitting? Whether or not you're crazy? Pictures are included.
When your first marriage to a New York Native ends with a Federal Court Order in 2013 and your second marriage to a Native American ends eight days before the suicide of your nephew in 2018? "Are you crazy"? I wanted yell at the newlyweds on the Brooklyn Bridge.
When your personal C-PTSD is triggered in New York after you read your long estranged daughter's 2020 strange book about her PTSD? Her factually inaccurate descriptions of her parents divorce, where she's referring to her parents as a Couple of "middle class" drug addicts? Fake-kaktah as they say in Yiddish. "As if" says this Californian who married the New Yorker in 1989. How do you tell your daughter Zoe Falk to "fact check"? Oh wait, when you read between the lines? The acknowledgement to her "grandfather" being the first to read the draft, and her grandmother Patricia Zoe Willitts and their "shared bond" is a wound of myself? Zoe Falk seems to have Stockholm Syndrome. I haven't seen my daughter since 2010? But in reading my daughter's book? I see her grandparents want to disappear Zoe Falk's rape at the hands of her father Michael Falk, which is documented in a 34 page 2008 psych evaluation on the court record of SFL32398, which is a large part of the "why" I passed on marrying the British Elitist snob son of an O.B.E. one Mark Speed from London when the balding Ginger openly called my ex "a dirty New York Jew" in front of my daughter?! Umm, dude, my son was bar-mitzvahed so I wouldn't marry a divisive antisemite, who might come between my children Max and Zoe Falk and add the Brit's bordering on criminal, and definitely guilty of child endangerment for failing to report the 2008 sex abuse of Zoe Falk in Oregon. A Shanda on all your houses! And to Patricia Z Willitts and her Oregonian husband for looting her Falk Grandchildren's trusts? Seems my daughter has been deprived of more than money, a stolen history in New York. Oy Vey!
If you are intent on saying I do on the Brooklyn Bridge? Statistically? 90% of the brides and grooms enter their marriage from New York City onto the bridge that if they walked the full span? Spoiler alert you wind up in Brooklyn anyway. Take some free advice and come at the thing where there's the least traffic and best sunrise. Brooklyn!
On the last day you're single? Remember you have two choices on a Brooklyn Bridge wedding venue. Either enter the next span of your life with the other 95% from Centre Street/Park Row East of New York City Hall or the corner the intimate vibe on Tillary Street & Brooklyn Bridge Blvd and avoid the crowds
If you married dynastic wealth in NYC in 1989 and you don't start to figure that out until after you've left the marriage in 2005? Your 2006 will be a bitch, and by 2007? You might find that your marriage is little crowded if your father is the one who felt entitled.
Did I mention my ex husband Michael Falk, born on July, 9, 1950 in New York became the diagnosed a sociopath in California in 2005?
For the record? You lied Michael Falk. Your mother didn't die in 1993. She died in Florida November 17, 1992.
If you married Michael Falk from New York on September 9, 1989 in California and Lisanne Falk was one of your wedding guests?
Head Games? Isn't just your new "niece" who appeared on the 1979 vinyl cover of Foreigner's "Head Games", that's the external. Internally your father Bill Willitts was delusional in 2001 when he inserted himself into the Falk marriage. In 2018? Some People wind up dead from ghosts of marriages past and living with c-ptsd:(
Forged in grief? Perhaps Bill Willitts would not need to start a 2019 foundation for the prevention of suicide in Oregon if the man hadn't forged a Shannon Falk sale in NYC in 2017?
It almost looks all "glamy" this world of trusts? Maybe? If your Willitts "family" didn't pose as entitled Falk's in 2003.
Acting entitled? Michael Falk's been cast in that role since he was born in New York 7-9-1950. Dude was born Falk "associated".
Personally? Having known both of the "Brother's Falk? Bruce R Falk just wore his entitlement like a badge on his sleeve as anyone can read in his "infamous" Dec 7, 2005 Obituary.
Hot and heavy trauma began on Christmas Day 2005 when I drove away from Oregon to get a California divorce. No surprise the ex lied. You, expect that, but your own brother Jason Willitts and your father Bill Willitts? Twenty-three years later? Willitts Designed Shannon Falk Death Affidavit's? Are 3 dudes crazy?!
2007 I thought it was just the diagnosed sociopath Michael Falk. I didn't know he had "deadly" Willitts "help".
If your mother was praying for your death, and your father and brother kill you on paper?
Be careful who you marry, if they are in a trust before you were born, and wary if your father is a narcissist and his wife is borderline personality disordered, and they set up trusts using your married name.
Marriage can be a killer.
If your parents wanted to benefit from your marriage after it ended, and your nephew made the ultimate sacrifice?
As I exited the Brooklyn Bridge and discussed marriage with a beat NYPD officer he said something apropos "There's Ghosts on that Bridge".
I would add that there's a dark specter in Oregon, but I'm in New York. Safer with a dog than any man.
Before you take the big jump in NYC? Lock yourself into something that can never be reversed? Here's a cautionary tale from the California "Girl" who married the "Man" from New York at the Round Barn in Fountaingrove Santa Rosa, California, September 9, 1989, who if you believe a Federal Document was settled on December 13, 2013 who got the real "Valentine" February 14, 2014
Before you run down an aisle, out on a bridge, and go out and get your marriage license in any state? First fact check your own birth certificate, and make sure that you are who you are, or in my case? You are who your parents tell you that you are. I know it sounds so simple, but in my case? Well it wasn't until I went on a "fact" checking mission that began with a global pandemic, and factually? Actually my ex husband Michael Falk and my father Bill Willitts are actually a couple of liars. Those two are such a pair, that perhaps they should seek divorces in California and Oregon and use the "Marriage Equality Act" which allows any same-sex couples to get married in New York, just like any opposite-sex couples, with the same rights, responsibilities, and privileges under State and City law. The New York City Clerk offers marriage licenses and ceremonies to same-sex couples. Absent the impossible? In matters involving the divorces in California with Federal orders and property divisions in the state of New York? In the words of my first California Federal lawyer in 2007 "follow the money" and if it leads you to New York in 2023? Remember the quote from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional character Sherlock Holmes "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, however improbable, must be the truth" and in the end? That is all I owe my two living grown children Maxwell and Zoe Falk who were produced during this union. Because as anyone knows who's physically visited the 9/11 memorial? Love is stronger than hate, and even though NYC owns the registered trademark? They don't have a corner on that market.
Pictures of the children I love? Those are few, most buried by Michael Falk in 2009, so I have had to gather these sacred pictures from a few that love Max and Zoe Falk
Sunrise on the Brooklyn Bridge? Yes of course I think of my kids.
To the brides and grooms on Brooklyn Bridges the advice of another citizen of New York Kahlil Gibran is still relevant
On Marriage-Kahlil Gibran-Let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together; For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
If your union produces children and shit gets complicated on Christmas Day in 2005 when you left your marriage? Remember again the words of Kahlil Gibran .
