Back when we were planning our wedding, I asked the County Clerk how much it cost to get married. He told me $2 down, and the rest of your paycheck for the rest of your life.

..I’m not sure what counties those fees are referring to—it’s $68 in Riverside Co. and next month I’m getting one...

Go get married in a church.

The government has no business being in the marriage business.

LOL and true! /s

[yadent]

Absolutely!!

How about a mandatory ‘cooling off period’ before they waltz down the aisle with that abuse who just got out of prison???

Good luck finding one that will marry you without your having “rendered unto Caesar.”

Its returning to a 1040 near you. If one spouse is still working and one is on SS there is a marriage penalty. In olden times SS benefits used to be taxed at 50%, now the are added to ordinary income at up to 80%.”””

I predict a rash of divorces, where the partners continue to live together & then file separate 1040’s.

Congratulations and wishing the two of you the best.

I turn 47 next month and no intention of getting married, ever.

On the off chance I decide to marry I will build a church and then I pretty much call the shots.

LOL

Already $45 in my county!

Too many so-called conservatives fight against that idea.

“As a Detroit Lions fan, I think this is a great idea.”

Hahahahahaha....now, that’s funny.....

“C’mon people. What is the relevance of my Super Bowl suggestion?”

Huge increase in DV cases around the SB.

It will end only when we rise up en masse and elect people who aren't more socialist than the rest of us.

Not sure that that will ever happen.

As Solomon said there is nothing new under the sun. The IRS has already figured this out. They have the avoidance rule which forbids doing anything to reduce your tax liability.
