Ooops, I had the COUNTRY wrong! Gretna Green is in Scotland.... I’ll have to GTS (google that shit) to see where in the united states it is.

Quick report:
“Parental consent is needed in Alabama and Utah at age 14, and in Nebraska and Oregon, the age is 17. The ages for males and females to marry differs in some states. In New Hampshire, the ages at which you may get married with parental consent are 14 for males and 13 for females.”
OK, that’s just scary! I have a soon to be 15 yr old gs...and a 12 yr old gd!!
Go Florida...but I am bothered by how they’ve taken the parents comepletly out of the equation.
It might have been Maryland. It didn’t require a waiting period. As you found out Gretna Green was in Scotland, which apparently didn’t require the bans to be announced in advance of marriage.
The point being, that if there is another jurisdiction available, people will use it.
