27-year-old Robert Nickson Jr.'s wedding plans were ruined this week after authorities talked with his 14-year-old fiancée.

Nickson and his intended bride say they knew what they were doing was illegal, but they "didn't think they would get caught."

So how did the cops hear about the nuptials? The couple posted photos on Facebook along with status updates saying they were engaged.

This was bound to end badly. You should never, ever agree to marry somebody just to get out of your parents' house, even if she has a Hello Kitty bunk bed.
