Hard to answer. I guess there is none.
Quick reminder that “Europe” is a mosaic of countries, and that there is a huge difference between let’s say, Portugal, Austria and Latvia.
I don’t really think there is a country which would be so liberal regarding marriage that you could get married by Elvis or a Machine on short notice amd drunk just to get laid (on the other hand, most European cultures stopped caring about marriage, and donxt need it to get laid or have kids)
The US is a huge mosaic of states, and there’s a huge difference between say California and the Deep South.
That being said, their question still stands as they were just curious about possibilities in a region. The US is just as large and diverse, so it’s possible something like that exists in Europe, and if so, what.
Kinda like when people lump California and Alabama together when talking about Americans. Annoying, isn’t it?
The differences between California and Alabama are still an order of magnitude or more smaller than between e.g. Portugal and Latvia.
All you just told me is that you haven’t been to either. You couldn’t be more wrong.
I live in California. I’ve been to Alabama, Portugal, and Latvia (just this year for the Baltics, great places). I disagree.
Parts of the deep south are just fucking alien in a way I’ve never felt anywhere else.
Different places in Europe are, of course, different. But different in a way you can wrap your head around with an undercurrent of commonality. The same things being done in interestingly different ways by normal people.
The sense of dislocation and strangeness I feel in certain (not all) places in the deep south is far beyond anything I’ve experienced, not just in Europe, but also Asia, South America, and North Africa.
Not really, that would be more like lumping the states Bavaria and Schleswig-Holstein together when talking about Germans.
Naw, that’s more like LA vs SF when talking about Californians. Different beliefs, social behavior, dialects, history, architecture, etc.
You guys really need to get away from lumping Americans in the same bin in conversation. The US is huge and covers more diverse cultures in a single state than most people understand. We’re friends with Europeans, regardless of what country you’re from. We love you guys! Stop falling victim to propaganda and remember that we are allies.
But you do know the cultural differences there are TINY in comparison, right?
Dang…6 day old response and I just got the notification. Sorry!
They are not tiny by comparison, which is what I’m trying to convey. For one, we have every culture in the world fully represented here across multiple regions. If that isn’t enough to convince you, take a trip that includes maybe LA, Seattle, Idaho, Minnesota or anything adjacent, NYC, south Florida, Alabama or Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. I doubt this will convince you, but I have to at least try. It really bothers me when people say shit like “Americans are x,” completely discounting the fact that we are a federation of 50 different countries, each with it’s own unique laws and cultures.

Probably isn’t a 1:1 like that but I’m sure there’s something equally trashy culturally
I’d have to imagine that there’s something similar involving Afterskis or Finnish cruises.
I don’t think getting married when drunk is very common at all outside of Vegas.
Are there other places in America that allow it?
I think Reno, Nevada does some similar antics. And possibly Atlantic City, NJ. All of them have local economies based on casinos (and historically, organized crime).
You can get married drunk anywhere in the US. The marriage ceremony takes place on your own time, without involvement from the government. The only thing the government needs is the signed marriage contract between the two spouses, the officiant, and the witness(es).
Depending on the state and exactly how drunk you were, you may be able to get the marriage annulled if you weren’t in the right mind to enter into a contract because of your drunkenness.
I got married drunk. Mind you I was sober when I applied for my marriage license. I just got married at the bar my wife and I had our first date at and got us a few drinks to celebrate. And, this was in the Midwest, so very far from anywhere you’d associate with quick drunk weddings.
