FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - If you're not afraid to dress up like Frankenstein and his bride, the Fulton County Probate Court says they're more than happy to get you married off for free.
The courthouse located 136 Pryor Street SW is offering free wedding ceremonies on Oct. 31.
"Probate Court was already seeing record numbers weekly since we resumed offering free wedding ceremonies on Fridays after the pandemic," said Judge Kenya Johnson of Probate Court
"Then, we began seeing couples getting married in costume on Friday, Oct. 13. By the time we received our third request for a Halloween costume wedding ceremony, I realized that non-traditional weddings were ‘a thing,’ and that we as a court should have some fun with it," said Judge Johnson.

You don't actually have to dress up to get the deal either. The judge says all couples, in costume or not, will be able to celebrate their love from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. You can bring up to six guests to witness it.
The catch is you will need a Fulton County marriage license to be eligible.
