Have any of you heard of this? Couples could get married for free in Robson Square in Vancouver at this pop up event. All the couples had to do was bring their marriage license and a $20 donation for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. Our officiant participated in this event and I think it's a really neat idea! This was the third year they've hosted it and they had completed 72 weddings by 4 pm!

What do you think of this idea? Would you ever consider something like this? I think it's a great opportunity for couples who want to make it "official" but may not have the funds for a full blown ceremony and reception.

    I think it's cool but I would feel really rushed... I want to bask in the moment and not feel like I have to get out of the way so they can marry the next person in line to try and get as many in as possible.

    So, fun idea... not for me

    I love love love this- and would absolutely do this, and then go out for a nice dinner.

    And for a good cause! UGH- I love things like this. Get me all choked up at work again Smiley winking

    Not even just for the massive savings, but the simplicity of it, and being part of something good for the community
