In response to bradysgma....
Didn't Melanie just have her 18th birthday? Was she in college when she was in school in Paris? Why would she be in such a hurry to marry Philip? I'm just glad she didn't get married in Church, since so many Salemites marry in Church and then get a divorce or annulment.
Melanie's age has bopped around a lot since she arrived. I had had the impression in France that she was at least 18 then. But, they've aged/de-aged her since so who knows. But- first of all she is very young at 18 to be marrying even if she seems to be more mature and the fact that she's marrying Philip who should be in his late 20s to early 30s (due to SORAsing), it is even stranger. It appeared as though Philip manipulated her into marrying him and given his track record - it won't last! Philip married Belle in church so I am not sure that he could marry Melanie if they are Catholic - which everyone seems to be recently.
