Come to Lewisville! Get hitched for a buck!

In Lewisville, TX, on June 30, 2007, the "99 Cents Only" store will be hosting a licensed minister to perform marriage ceremonies in the store.

I tried to speak to a manager about the event, but she was busy working a checkout with lots of busy bargain hunters.

The event will take place at 11 AM on Saturday, June 30th, at the 99 Cents Only store, on the Southeast corner of I-35 and Round Grove Road (3040)

So, run on down to the Denton County Courthouse and get your marriage certificates quick! You won't find a cheaper place to get hitched in June!

I wish I were kidding - it would be a hell of a joke. But no, it's absolutely real.

Keep in mind though, that you still have to purchase a marriage license at least 3 days in advance, somewhere in the state of Texas.

I don't think the dollar store is a great place to begin a lifetime with your spouse - the symbolism of cheap commercialism is rather shallow, and in my mind somewhat defiles the sacrament.

 Sadly, you're probably right.
Marriage is so trivialized in this country - with many young couples concerned more about their expensive wedding than the marriage itself.

I've got mixed feelings about divorce, being a former child of divorce. On the one hand, when a couple really, really can't work things out, divorce may be the most loving thing to do. That was the case for my parents, and I think my brother and I are probably better off for it.

On the other hand, people get married that really shouldn't. Too many people make the mistake of settling for someone they think they can change, or getting married in haste because "I'm getting old and my bio clock is ticking".
