County of Los Angeles

My wife and I got married here a few months ago. The process was very fast and because I work right next door, I was able to squeeze in my nuptials during my lunch break. I (naively) thought that my supervisor would give me the rest of the day off considering such a momentous occasion, but alas that was not to be. Not that the court house had anything to do with it.
The officiant for our wedding was extremely friendly and I swear she was a supporting actress in Night Court or something… so proficient was her integration of humor and judicial prowess. After five seamless minutes of a lively ceremony, my wife and I were officially married.
We then went through the tried and true celebration of taking gangster-​esque poses with the officiant and our witness. I swear she even threw out a Westside set, a truly remarkable knowledge of hip-​hop culture from a white woman in her late 40’s.
Although we did have a traditional wedding a few weeks after, the court house at BH was a great way to get the ball rolling with the marriage process. Minus one star for the security guard manning the metal detector who was trying to chat up my wife… it’s our wedding day asshole, have a little sense of decorum.
