We need to get married quick and cheap how and where in Columbia, Md?

Question

I would like to say to those negative thinking people ie dappersmom. My boyfriend and I have been living together for five years. I have followed him to Alaska and no Maryland. He is being deployed and we wanted to get married before he left. We only got a two week notice that he is leaving. So I must say your responses enraged me! We have been there for eachother through thick and thin and continue to do so for the rest of our lives. So next time when you go to a quick judgement you may think twice and get off your high horse!!!

Answer 1

You have a few options (though not many)
1. Go to the courthouse, party later
2. Find a Justice of the Peace (may be short notice) get married at your home/family member's home, and host a pot luck dinner. This way, there's little planning, but will give your family and friends a chance to share your special day.
Congratulations, and your fiancee will be in my thoughts and prayers-I know how you feel (My little brother is in Iraq right now). Tell him to stay safe!

Answer 2

LOL if you need to get married quick and cheap just save yourselves all the trouble and skip straight to the divorce. What a ridiculous idea, not the cheap thats fine but the NEED and the QUICK are just ridiculous ideas. You are talking about a lifetime committment and going in to it as a quick fix to some problem is immature, irresponsible and stupid.

Consider getting married when you have been together long enough to be out of the infatuation stage. When you have discussed ALL the issues involved in life after the wedding like finances, division of household labor, children, in laws, where to live, jobs, time away with friends, and a million other things you haven't thought of. After all of that you consider each part of the vows, and what you consider is the difficult side of them, anybody can be happy when things are going well so,

richer or poorer....still want to be with them in a shack with crackers ala peanut butter for dinner...for the fourth night in a row?

sickness and health...they develop a chronic physical or mental illness and can't get around and can't work, still want to be there?

better or worse...they are in a car accident and you have to spend the rest of your life feeding them and changing their diapers, still want to be married?

keep yourself only to him or her, can you REALLY only have sex with only that person until you die?

THIS is what marriage is, not a fairy tale where everything goes well everyday, the one guarantee you have is that things WILL go wrong. Remember, you answer all these questions after you have passed infatuation, after you know what their bad points are (yes they have some and so do you) and still consider it anyway.

If you think you are up for all of this then maybe you should think about it. Don't forget to consider whether they would stick by you if it was you in any or all of the above scenarios. Check out the question posted here by married people and keep in mind that all of them thought this was the thing to do and the ONE for them when they got married too!

Answer 3

It's unfortunate that you don't have the time to have the big wedding full of friends and family like you've probably thought about before but it's admirable how committed you are to your fiance. Probably the easiest way to do this is at your local court house and then once he is back, have the reception then. I hope God keeps him safe and brings him home to you while he is overseas. Best of luck.
