The California Department of Public Health website says that we can get a marriage license from any county. Yet two of Danny’s friends said that Santa Clara County required that couples get married in that county. Also, Danny’s friends who got married in Illinois had to do a last minute scramble because they were getting married in a different county in which they attempted to register.
As you know by now, we’re getting married in Daly City, which is in San Mateo County. Now, registering in San Mateo County is actually better for us for a couple of reasons. First, it’s less crowded. SF County requires reservations. Second, it’s cheaper than SF or LA counties. SF County even charges a nominal fee for a couple to make a reservation!
However, there might be one slight problem to registering in San Mateo County. There might be an issue of an outstanding traffic ticket from San Mateo County that someone may or may not have settled. The nightmare scenario is that we go to register and find out that there’s a warrant to arrest one of us.
While we’re confident that we don’t have to register in San Mateo County, we probably still will because of the aforementioned benefits. If we find out that there really is an outstanding warrant, then you will all get an email saying one of two things: (1) we’ve moved the wedding to a location in SF; or (2) one of us is in jail.
