Get married for 99 cents
If you have kids, chances are you're either married, have been married, or are at least thinking about tying the knot. However, in spite of the legal benefits, there are plenty of reasons not to get hitched -- one of which is the money.
But that concern is a thing of the past in Lewisville, Texas where you can get a Super-Duper Value Marriage for only 99 cents -- at the dollar store.
Seriously. On June 30, the local 99 Cents Only store will be hosting a licensed minister who will be performing marriage ceremonies inside the store -- so you can commit for eternity to your one and only for less than a dollar. Plus, all proceeds benefit a local animal shelter. What more could you ask for?
Extra tip: Ask the girl pricing miniature sandbox toys in aisle 6 if she'll take a few pictures, and avoid the cost of an expensive photographer!

wtf_is_this said...99 cents?!?!?!?! THAT'S RETARDED. I don't care how poor you are! Getting married is a waste of time, isn't romantic, and is just plain stupid! For crying out loud, just hire a minister and set up a back yard wedding! Buy a few flowers and your done! You don't have to worry about some creep asking you where the soup is and how much your wedding costs you WHILE you're at the dollar store! If you get married at a dollar store, I think that you are MOCKING marrige!

Edclark1952 said...Does'nt matter if it costs 99 cents or 9,999 dollars this is a good outlet for the second time around crowd that "KNOWS" that all the glitter is for show.
Beats going to a J.P. right?
At least you can always look back on it and have a good laugh. Most women are out for the glitter that her man can coat her hunger with champagne taste on his beer budget. Its a fact that most women today wouln'dt have what they do if it wasnt for her man. After all most to all women are looking for a man with "DEEP" pockets. Great idea helping out the humane society / animal shelter Most women I know should have been a resident there and been spayed!!
Damn I did'nt say that did I ?

Donna said...We marrred in a court house 16 years and 4 kids ago we still happy. Plus we had more money for our new home and family. Get married any place that makes you happy. Spend the money on babys they make the world sweeter and give you something to love and be pride of. Childern are our future.

RObyn said...Oh come on folks where is yor sense of humor? There are alot of us out there that don't want all the pomp and circumstance of a big girly wedding, some of us have other things that are important to us besides spending tons of money that could be used for better things!! I did it with just me and my husband 25 years ago, we needed witnesses and my hubby went to the hall to find one and the the first one he found was a janitor and he said "I'm sorry but I have to go un-stop a toilet" TRUE STORY!!But anyway there is nothing wrong with getting married in a dollar store as long as both parties are agreeable with it

jaime said...my wedding cost $36.00 this was the cost of blood tests, rings , dress and donation to the justice of the Peace. we've been married for 32 years.. the wedding day is just one day, very small thing in the big picture of marriage.. not everyone can afford the islands.. i remember the guy working at K-mart jewlery counter snickering at our purchase of wedding bands.. bet he thought we would never last.. but the material things and all the trappings of the wedding day don't really matter when true love and commitment aren't there. wasn't there an actress Rene... something and a country singer who got married on an island beach ..then got a divorce shortly after.. i bet they wish the had gone to the $1.00 store instead of flying all their relatives there..

Manda Panda said...i have been thinking about my dream wedding since i was 16 (21 now). i just want to have a beautiful wedding. sure id love to have a gorgeous dress, whether its from jcpenneys or from a consignment store. i want to have the love of my life there as well as our parents and a few friends. i dont care if it is on the beach in maui or if it is in the backyard at the justice of the peace's house down the road. i just want the two of us to look nice and be happy and all the guests have a great time. hell, id let my bridesmaids (if i even had any) pick out their own dresses. a wedding is about making public a wonderful special bond between two people. its not about making the cover of the national enquirer. hey if you spend a ton of money then ok, if you save some cash but still have a beautiful wonderful day that you never forget then that is just as good if not better. 2 things tho....1/ people need to get a life and 2/ people need some damn prozac. cuz people these days are warped materialistic ASSHOLES. im more mature at 21 than most of the people who have commented on this blog.

Liz said...It's not that big of a deal where you get married. It's good that you love and respect each other enough to get married. Concentrate on staying together. Many people spend lots of money on a large wedding to impress others,and the marriage often times end up in divorce. That's wasted money. Whether you get married overlooking the ocean or some other location,that has nothing to do with if you love each other or when it's time to face reality and start living as husband and wife,paying the bills,making a life together or other things that are necessary and important. Everyone that think it's so cheap and shun the ideal,would you be willing to pay for someone's wedding who couldn't afford it? Besides the proceeds are going to help the animal shelter. It's cheap to just live someone, or proclaim how much you love them but have no intentions of marrying them. Big fancy weddings are for spectators. After the wedding,who help you pay your expenses to get back on track?

Seriously though, I think it's a cool idea. To each their own. :)

Geegee Davis said...Well, why not get married in a Dollar Store?? I got married in a big church with all the frills, and I got married in Sweden by a Swedish judge, and neither marriage worked, so WHY not get married in the Dollar Store ? It will cost a helluva lot less and if it ends in divorce I won't be out as much paying for a big fancy wedding. Heck, why get married anydamnway ??? Just love 'em and leave 'em. That's it.

LaurieH said...Okay, just for those of you who are actually going to the Dollar Store to get married, there is a 72 hour waiting period in Texas to get married. Anyways, I think that if you don't have the money to have the wedding of your dreams, why not? Get married and if you decide that if you want to do, have a fancier wedding a few years later. I'm getting married this summer, my fiance just got back from Iraq, and we just decided to go ahead and get married in the courthouse and then in a few years, we'll have an actual wedding. And I agree with you guys about #8 - that's just rediculous, when you're starting out in a marriage you're lucky if you have anything left over after bills. Why waste money on a fancy exotic wedding like that? Wouldn't it be better to save, or invest for the future? ..Its just not practical.
