How to Get Married in Vegas (note: I wrote, you not me)

Once again, please note that I did not say I was going to get married. Whew!

Okay. Just for pure research sake. I wanted to find out what I needed to get married in Vegas and why it is so easy.

According to Vegas.com, you need: All you need is a Social Security number (one for the groom and the bride. Commitment ceremonies available at several chapels, however, marriage is not legal between two people of the same sex in Nevada), proof of identification and age (driver's license, passport, birth certificate - in English if you are foreign) and the marriage license fee ($55). There is no blood test and no waiting period after a license is issued.

It is also important to note that Nevada also leads the country in divorces because of a low residency requirement.

And, according to Ancestry.com, August and July are the most popular months for marriages (Once against, there is no relation to timing and my research)

And, in true betting fashion, the site also launched VegasWeddingOdds.com, an online marriage-predicting site which, based on your first name, will give you the first names of the people you're most likely to marry in Nevada. (My results were absolutely scary in its accuracy.)
