Couples rush to get married before November 4th Election

Couples from all over the United States have been calling us regarding the up coming election.

The Los Angeles County Recorders office is urging all couples to get married before the election. Any marriage license issued to a same sex couple and not used prior to Nov 4th might be declared invalid. If declared invalid they will not record it when the couple is married after November 4th.

If you are holding a marriage license now you should get married so you do not lose your only change to get married legally here in California.

If you have a big wedding planned and just need to get married now to beat the deadline call us and we will handle all the necessary paperwork.

We will stay open late that night to accommodate all the couples wanting to get married. If you buy your own license at any of the county offices and want a quick no wait wedding we can help.

Our chapel is perfect for just the couple or up to 30 guests.

WE DON'T NEED PROP. 8

Prop. 8 is an unnecessary measure that does not address the pressing needs of California's families like the slowing economy, foreclosure crisis and $15 billion deficit we face. California has more people serving and dying in our armed forces than any other state. That's why Gov. Schwarzenegger calls Prop. 8 a "waste of time."

Throughout our history, our Constitution has guaranteed and protected our basic rights. If passed, Prop. 8 would mark the first time that our Constitution was amended to eliminate civil rights.

Spielberg donates money to support gay marriage

LOS ANGELES - Steven Spielberg and his wife, Kate Capshaw, are the latest celebrity donors to the fight against California's November ballot initiative that would overturn the state Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage.

Spielberg and Capshaw have donated $100,000 to fight Proposition 8, they announced in a statement Monday.

"By writing discrimination into our state constitution, Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate the right of each and every citizen in our state to marry regardless of sexual orientation," the statement said. "Such discrimination has NO place in California's constitution, or any other."

Also known as the Marriage Protection Act, Proposition 8 would amend the state constitution to limit marriage to a man and a woman. If passed, it would overturn the court decision that made the state only the second in the U.S. to legalize same-sex marriage.

Brad Pitt gave the same amount to the cause last week.

Get Married before November 4th

To date we have married almost 100 same sex couples since June 17th.

Couples have come from all over the US to get married in California since the ban was lifted. Get married now before voters have a chance to change the constitution here in California. The Los Angeles County recorders office has told us that all marriages performed before November will remain legal and can not be overturned.

But if voters change the constitution in November then no more licenses will be issued to same sex couples. So anyone married between June 17th and November 4th will have legal marriages recognized by the State of California as legal and binding. New York state currently recognizes California Same Sex marriages. So if you wait you may miss your chance to be legally married here in California.

We will continue to update our blog with news as we get it from the recorders office.
