Say ‘I Do’
Wanting to tie the knot on the special day? The Orange County Clerk-Recorder offices in Anaheim, Laguna Hills, and Santa Ana have announced extended hours of operation on Thursday offering walk-in wedding ceremonies for couples.
Assistance for marriage licenses and civil ceremonies will be provided from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m., according to officials.
Prior to visiting the Clerk-Recorder offices, couples are required to complete an online application.
“Leap Day is the perfect backdrop for couples to let their love take flight into an exciting chapter,” Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen said in a January statement. “My department looks forward to making couples’ dreams of a joyous, seamless, and romantic wedding day come true.”
