Hitting the Chapel, Not the Books: How Old Do You Gotta Be for a Vegas Wedding?
So you and your boo have decided to ditch tradition (and maybe responsibilities?) for a whirlwind romance culminating in a Vegas wedding. Excellent choice! But before you hit the neon strip with rings in hand, there's a minor hurdle to jump – age. No one wants Elvis showing up to a ceremony only to find out you're too young to legally tie the knot!
The Minimum: 18 to Say "I Do," 17 with an Asterisk
Here's the deal: gotta be at least 18 years old to get married in Las Vegas without any hitches (or parental lectures). Proof of age, like a driver's license or passport, is a must-have.
Under 18? Not Quite Ready for the Big Leagues (of Marriage)
If you're a youthful Romeo or Juliet (or just young and in love), fear not! There's a slight loophole for 17-year-olds. With parental consent and a court order from a Nevada district judge, you can still snag that marriage license. Word to the wise: this might take more time and effort than waiting a year to turn 18. Trust us, Elvis will still be around (probably).
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
Not Your Parents' Vegas Wedding (Thank Goodness)
Thankfully, you don't need to wait weeks for a blood test or deal with a million hoops to jump through. Vegas weddings are known for their speed (almost as fast as Elvis can belt out a love song).
Here's a quick recap:
- 18 and over: You're good to go, just grab your ID and your sweetheart!
- 17 years old: Parental consent and a court order are required. Buckle up, it might be a bumpy ride.
