David and Kathyrn's wedding never actually happened and the only people who know about it or have any record of it know that. Sunday's episode verified that the state of Maine doesn't even know Storybrook exists much less would enforce legal arrangments done there. Storybrook looks to be operating under its own isolated rule. David said "we are both" and I got from that the people are to decide for themselves who they are based on both their real and cursed identity. Basically figure it out for themselves if they're married. I wonder how things with Paige's Storybrook parents and Jefferson are going. This is a very large part of why I feel like Emma has every right to deny Regina her parental rights... Storybrooke doesn't exist, and for that matter, Regina herself doesn't exist (in the  world without magic)... she has no legal identifications, outside of Storybrooke, so her adoption of Henry wouldn't technically be legal, either.
