Why the three day wait for marriage licenses? Well according to most sources we probed it's meant to allow time for couples to think things out and be certain they are making the right decision. Interesting, huh? If you get to the point where you have proposed or been proposed to and made your way to the clerk’s office to sign up for a license one might think you had perhaps mulled the decision over a time or two. But perhaps not. In more than half of our states there’s no waiting period at all including Nevada. One wonders how many who decided to tie the marital knot halfway through a Vegas vacay may havelater wished they’d taken a bit of time to ponder the nuptials. As they say what happens in Vegas… In Wisconsin it’s a 6 day wait since apparently folks from the Badger state need a bit more time to ponder. In Florida it’s 3 days but you can marry the same day if you have taken a state-sanctioned marriage preparation course within the last 12 months. For those of us who may have struggled a bit academically this begs the question on whether it's necessary to pass said course. “We're sorry Mr. DeLaat. Your fiancee aced the course but you fell quite a bit short so we’ve encouraged her to look for another candidate if she’s set on getting hitched today.” Recent marriage licenses in Newaygo County: Allie Dubbink, Grant & Brandon Long, Grant Nakita Semenetz, Fremont & Edwin Zuniga, New York, NY Dwight Price, Fremont & Paula Thompson, White Cloud Meghan Miller, Casnovia & Dillon Curtice, Kent City Amber Bazzett, White Cloud & Joseph Lyon, Newaygo Malachi Cubitt, White Cloud & Rebecca Myers, Stanwood Aubrey Wright, Fremont & Chase Siersema, Hesperia Chloe West, Fremont & Trenton Taylor, Fremont
