Why would it be in someone's best legal interest to get married in New York as opposed to Connecticut?
My friend's fiancee's family insists that they get married in New York as opposed to Connecticut, even though they will be doing so right over the border. I suspect there is legal grounds for this (she makes very good money compared to him) but I need someone to give me a crash course on the differences between the two. Thanks!

Connecticut was long known for making it difficult to get a marriage license. While most states have one page on their websites on how to get married, Connecticut's is a 31 page document. Also you can only get your marriage license from the town clerk in the town where you want to get married. Most town clerks in Connecticut have horrible hours to get them.

other than maybe the cost of a marriage license or the process of getting the license, there would be no difference what state they were married in. Once married, you're legally married and the state in which you were married doesn't affect anything at all. It makes no difference if you were married in CT, NY, Alaska or Canada. There are tax benefits, etc. depending on which state you LIVE, but nothing based on where you were married.
