Reducing Impulsive Marriages…

This morning before work, KW and I went to the King County Administration office to apply for a marriage license. Marriage licensing in King County costs $60 (in cash) and the applicants must be at least 18 years of age. Once you have acquired your marriage license, there is a three-day waiting period before it is valid.

It’s like buying a gun!

    Actually, buying a gun is easier. If you get it at a “show” they can usually waive the waiting period with a valid driver’s license. Don’t know if they’ll waive it with a valid marriage license, though.
