took like 15 minutes, more of just a wait to have name called. You fill out the paper work, show IDs, they show you a proof to make corrections, sign and DONE

that's what happened to us! we went to the hempstead town hall on washington ave. they make you sign in with the security guard and then you go upstairs. there were only 2 other couples ahead of us but 1 of them wanted to ACTUALLY get married right then and there! she showed up in a big wedding dress and he was in a suit. it was very bizarre to watch! she even had BM's!!!

We went yesterday morning and we were in and out in 15 minutes. We went to town hall in Hempstead and we were the only couple there (at around 9:00am). They ask for $40, 2 forms of ID and a bunch of questions like your address, mother's maiden name, are you taking his last name, yada yada. Then they give you the license application for the officiant to complete on the wedding day. They also gave me a little packet of various applications to help me when I change my name with the DMV.

We went to town hall in Hempstead, we went earlyin the morning so there was no wait. You need $40 and 2 forms of ID. They just ask you a few questions like your address, mother's maiden name, are you taking his last name. They give you the license form for the officiant to complete on the wedding day.

Thanks, girls! Are you taking his last name? Hmmmm....... in some instances, yes... but in others......... I don't know! It's such a hassle!

What about if one has been married before? What do they need for that? Or do they have it on record already?
