I didn't realize there was a post about this here. I just posted about this over on Amy's talk page the other day because I don't think Henry VIII should be listed as Amy's spouse. To repeat what I said on the talk page -

This is the dialogue for the scene:

Amy: Somebody was talking and I just said yes. Rory: To wedding vows! You just married Henry VIII on our anniversary.

They were there for Henry VIII's wedding to someone else and Amy, absently overhearing someone talking, just said the word "yes." That does not constitute a ceremony or legal agreement, especially when the words weren't even directed at her, she's never referred to as Henry VIII's wife unless Rory's line is stretched to be taken as something other than a verbal jab to the ribs, and there's no evidence Amy or Henry VIII consider Amy's "yes" to be legally/religiously/culturally/ceremonially/morally binding.

So far only Shambala108 noticed and commented.
