Today, Cathy, my wife soon to be and I went down to the Clark County Marriage Bureau to get our marriage license. I really didn't know what I would see.
We went down at about 7:00 PM (they are open until 12 midnight). When we got down there, there were 3 couples waiting in line and 3 couples at the windows. When we left, after getting our license, there were 7 more couples waiting in line- and according to the clerk, this was a slow time. So, there 14 couples in 1/2 hour on a Monday evening to get a marriage license. With a cost of $60, Clark County made a a quick $840 in a half hour.
We then went to the wedding chapel we are going to get married in in July. There was 1 couple who we met at the Marriage Bureau, getting married. So, they got their license and were married within about 1/2 hour. They were from France.
The man at the chapel we went to said this was a slow day- they only had 14 weddings scheduled for the day and a few more walk ins. Like several other wedding chapels, they had a drive through wedding service as well. Apparently, a lot of people on motorcycles come through and they get married while sitting on their bikes. Others do it in their cars.
So, in a little more than a month, we will be have another Las Vegas experience.
