HOUSTON — The Harris County Clerk's Office was hard at work on Valentine's Day to help lovestruck couples get married.
HCCO teamed up with the Heritage Society to offer express weddings at one of the historical venues at Sam Houston Park in downtown Houston.
“It’s just a quick one day, let’s get it done and let’s go celebrate," Heritage Society Executive Director Alison Bell said.
“They will get the time frame waived and then bring the license back to file and record it and they’re done," said Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth.
They waived the 72-hour waiting period so couples could get their license and get married on the same day!
HCCO was on-site at the Heritage Society at 1100 Bagby St. from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to issue marriage licenses for a fee of $74.
There are 10 other HCCO sites scattered all over Harris County that offer marriage licenses. Scroll down for other HCCO locations.
