MARRY AT THE COURTHOUSE?
ROMANTIC? DREAM COME TRUE?
Call me a romantic, but I don't think sitting in the hallway with lawyers and people awaiting sentencing, is everyone's idea of a dream wedding.
The cost may be cheap, if you go during normal business hours; but you may also end up having to come back another day if the judge cannot see you.
If you decide to make a private appointment for after-hours or on a weekend, then you could end up spending more than you had planned on.
ALTERNATIVE:
HAVE YOUR WEDDING AT: THE BEAUTIFUL BICENTENNIAL GARDENS, or other local parks in and around the Greensboro to Graham area.
Available: Mon.-Thurs., between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (by appointment only)
Cost: $100.
Choice of a Standard Prewritten Civil, Christian or Spiritual ceremony.
Requirements: Applicants must be 18 or over; 2 witnesses over the age of 18 must be present; a wedding license must be presented prior to the commencement of the ceremony.
