"TWO CAN'T LIVE AS CHEAP AS ONE, BUT IT'S LOTS MORE FUN... GET MARRIED HERE!"
Those were the words that were painted on a sign that once hung outside my Grandfather's one room court-house in Sutherland Springs, Texas for well over half a century. Of course, it once read "Two CAN live as cheap as one" back in the 1930's and 40's, but grandpa had to change it in the 1960's as the world changed. Now I don't know which phrase would apply.
You be the judge.
Anyway, during my vacations, when I stayed on my grandparent's farm, many a time I was dragged out of bed to witness a couple getting married at 3 o'clock in the morning. It seems my grandpa's place had a reputation as being the place to stop in the San Antonio area when you eloped...or maybe it was just that he was the only Justice of the Peace anywhere between San Antonio and Houston with a courthouse right on the highway (A little one room shack actually).
Well, I guess the memory of all those wedding ceremonies got to me and I set myself up in the marrying business. Yep, I'll drive on over and legally marry you and your soon to be spouse. In a civil, secular (non-religious) or non-secular (non-denominational, religious) ceremony. If you have
a license, picture identification and two witnesses
on hand (or, if you want, I can issue a marriage license on the spot anywhere in Los Angeles County).
I'll do my part, as best I can, to make your wedding what you dreamed it would be. From a simple, basic elopement ceremony to a large wedding with a custom written, beautiful and touching set of vows.
I aim to please.
