Marriage in Atlantic City is Easier Than Ever
Remember a couple years ago when the New Jersey government came forward and said “do not let the cast of The Jersey Shore skew your opinion of this state. We are not all drunk, orange-tinged asshats with no self-respect.” Well, I felt kind of bad for them, although I found it interesting that they didn’t also add “Real Housewives of New Jersey” in that sentence because those bitches are just as bad.
But then I learned today that New Jersey has passed a new law that makes it easier to get married in Atlantic City, AKA The Dirtier Vegas of the East.
According to The Wall Street Journal:
Passed by both houses of the New Jersey Legislature on Monday, the bill would eliminate a mandatory 72-hour waiting period for a marriage or civil-union license, and increase the fee to $60 from $28.
Cool, New Jersey. Very classy of you, to allow drunk couples to get married and then immediately divorced as long as they pay you enough for a seafood buffet. I totally see why you’d want to distance yourself from a reality show about the exact type of people that would do that.
