31. Got married there...Bullhead City

Seems Nevada's laws were just too restrictive so in Laughlin, NV, you find lots of casinos, but the marriage chapels are over the state line in Arizona. That is my one and only Arizona trip, about 20 minutes with the wife...walked into a rundown strip mall "chapel". There was a guy in a bad polyester suit, he asked us one question "are you brother and sister?" Then he got up, deadbolted the door, and gave us each a cheap plastic rose. The "vows" were recorded on an old cassette boom box and the guy took pictures while performing the ceremony. After the 5 minute ceremony, he tied the two roses together with what appears to be a bread tie, had us sign a document, then unbolted the door so we could leave.
I did think it was cool that the bikers didn't have to wear helmets, but basically I wasn't impressed.
