Will one of Atlanta's most eligible bachelors, Mayor Kasim Reed, be getting married soon?

If you were listening to the community affairs program "In Contact" with host Angela Robinson you may have accidentally gotten a hint of Kasim Reed's marriage in the near future, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The information came out during the last minutes of Angela Robinson's show when the viewing public could call in. One viewer asked if the Mayor would marry before the end of his term, and with a smile the Mayor said, "Yes, I think so."

Although Mayor Reed's people have rejected any further comment on the story, the slight remark will probably enough to launch a thousand tweets.

Mayor Kasim Reed, who is an attorney from Howard University School of Law, is probably already aware of the legal dimensions of marriage. For many Georgians, when planning a wedding, the topic of a Georgia prenuptial agreement often comes up.

If you think you are an eligible single, maybe you should also start planning your prenuptial agreement. Here are some basic things you need to brainstorm about: distribution in the event of a divorce, management of household bills, management of joint bank accounts, life insurance, each other's debts, and distinguishing joint and separate property.

Nowadays, it seems that it isn't so much about whether or not you are going to have a Georgia prenuptial agreement, but what will go in it.

Other things you'll want to think about estate planning issues, like conveying family property, or providing for children from previous marriages. But you should most likely leave child support off the list, because you can't designate that in a prenup.
