Why do people elope to Maryland?

In Maryland all you need is a license from the court house. I think some states ask for more, what they ask for, I don't know.

Places To Elope In Maryland

In Gilmore Girls Lorelai's referencing The Philadelphia Story which was set in the 1930s and eloping in Maryland was a thing back then because while places like New York and Philadelphia had waiting periods for marriage licenses, Maryland didn't.

Eloping to Maryland? I've never heard of this before. What movies and TV are you watching? I always though Vegas was the capital of eloping.

Marilyn Monroe eloped to a chapel in Elkton MD, a city widespread for its elopements from lower back while MD replace into the northern-maximum state that had no waiting era for a marriage liscense. it particularly is a great area--previous formed previous cities, good on the water, some cool background...i might examine it out :) different cool factors: Thurmont, MD: interior the mountains! Western MD/Deep Creek: mountains + a lake = fantastic atmosphere OC MD: spend the day putting out on the sea coast and get married after dinner. :)

I had always thought they eloped to Gretna Green!

but this is a Brit thing!

You can marry in this place at the age of 16 without parental permission!

is Maryland the USA equivalent?

Please do tell!

I hear it's the land to get mary'd.

They also don't require a blood test in Maryland.

Maryland is the best state. It has it all beaches, Mountains, Cities(baltimore, Washington suburbs). Maryland is great...I love my Maryland.

Well, if you live in Maryland and want to save money, why fly out to Vegas?

Because there is a very beautiful wedding chapel there. It beats anything Vegas has to offer.
