12/12/12 Wedding Rush Expected at Courthouses

Some Los Angeles County courthouses will stay open longer on the day expected to be many people's anniversaries. Do you know anyone tying the knot on 12/12/12?

With the easy-to-remember date of 12/12/12, more people than usual are expected to try to get married on Wednesday, so the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's Office announced expanded operating hours at some of its offices that day to handle the anticipated crowds.

Appointments for wedding ceremonies will be available at clerk's offices in Lancaster, the Los Angeles Airport Courthouse, East Los Angeles, Florence/Firestone and Van Nuys. To save time, couples can also apply for a marriage license online at www.lavote.net and then schedule a ceremony at one of the branch offices.

Clerk's offices will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at:
