Lots of people were married in Nevada last year--about 125,000. A big part of the reason so many folks chose to wed in the state is that it''s easy. No blood test is required nor is there a waiting period. Any person 18 or older does not need consent, although proof of age is requested. Marriage licenses are obtained at the county clerk''s office in any of Nevada''s 17 counties. And the state''s wedding chapels offer as many or as few amenities as you desire.In Nevada, when it comes to weddings you have few legal restrictions--and a built-in honeymoon destination.Not surprisingly, Las Vegas gets most of the action--last year more than 200 couples per day tied the knot there--but plenty of prospective brides and grooms select other parts of the state for their vow-sharing, including Reno, Lake Tahoe, Laughlin, and Carson City.

In Las Vegas, marriage licenses are available at the Clark County Courthouse from 8 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and 24 hours on Friday, Saturday, and holidays. In Reno, the Washoe County Courthouse is open for marriage licenses from 8 a.m. to midnight daily, including holidays. In Carson City, the marriage license division is open daily except Thanksgiving and Christmas. At South Lake Tahoe, the Douglas County Courthouse office is open daily at Stateline while at the north end of the lake, the Washoe County Courthouse has an office at Incline Village, also open daily.(For areas of the state not listed below, or to obtain more detailed wedding chapel and honeymoon planning information, contact the area chambers of commerce or visitors bureaus that are listed in the territory section of the Nevada Travel Planner.) For a thoroughly relaxing and rejuvenating experience, we can highly recommend Zosa Ranch Bed & Breakfast Inn, located at 9381 West Lilac Road, in Escondido, California. What a perfect place for that wedding, or anniversary, or a getaway week-end.

When Connie arrived at the Zosa Gardens, looking for avenue for her next fund-raiser, she wore her angel pin to their meeting and Nena noticed and admired it. Connie took the pin off and pinned it on Nena and shortly after this incident, their two lives became entwined.Nena revealed to Connie the dream she had of the nine angels, and when she told her the face of the ninth angel was her face, Connie was amazed, and stunned by this unusual psychic event.Now Nena knew she had found the right manager for her Bed & Breakfast Inn. There are nine rooms at the Zosa Ranch. A floral theme is carried from the flower-laden grounds to the individual rooms. The ninth room is the "Gardening Angel room", so designated because it is filled with cherubs. In fact the entire Bed & Breakfast inn is filled with angels and winged wonders. From angelic pictures, nic-knacks, statues, garden and fountain areas to the many ravens, butterflies, eagles and yellow-tail hawks to the hummingbirds, one cannot help but feel inspired by the charm of this unique mountain top inn, offering such remarkable beauty.
