Dozens of Couples Wed at the County Administration Center in San Diego's 'Halloweddings'
San Diego County, California, held its Halloween-themed wedding day, "Halloweddings," on October 30 at the County Administration Center in downtown San Diego, where dozens of couples obtained marriage licenses and took part in civil ceremonies on the spot, without appointments, on the day before Halloween.
The event is run by the office of the County Assessor, Recorder and County Clerk, which issues marriage licenses and performs civil ceremonies year-round, issuing about 25,000 licenses and performing more than 11,000 ceremonies a year. The themed wedding day is a recent addition that lets couples complete the license and the ceremony in one visit, in one building.
The county said licenses and ceremonies normally require separate appointments, while the walk-in format drew many couples who deliberately chose Halloween to marry. Residents who missed the event can still book licenses and civil ceremonies through the office's regular appointment channels.
