The setting is Walker Park in Kirkwood, MO. The bride wore silk and sandals. The groom wore a tie and sneakers.  The 4 guests stood inside the gazebo. The birds at the park were the music.  And in a short minute, it was all over. Married.

Elise Duncan, 26, and Zach Wright, 29, of St Charles got hugs and congratulations.  A group photo was taken by their wedding officiant, Carolyn Burke, who used several cameras from the groom and some wedding guests to take a picture of everyone who attended.  Burke then was on her way - perhaps to the next legal marriage signing service. 

Why did this couple want to get married in Kirkwood, and so simply?  In the midst of winter, it is easy to dream about running away, eloping, or just getting married on a beach somewhere warm and beautiful.  But, instead, St Louis is the destination.  St Louis?  Really?

Tie the knot, hassle-free

In the state of Missouri, there is no waiting period for a marriage license. You just go to any county clerk's office in the state, get your marriage license and, bingo, you are good to go.

"People come from all over the Midwest, and they just want to get married legally," says the Carolyn Burke - Wedding Officiant of Kirkwood. Elopements are on the rise and there are many reasons to choose to elope.  "I am quite flexible with my time," she says, "but I require a 7-day notice and payment upfront."

Many couples, like Allen and Wright, don't want anything too fancy.  Their wedding ceremony at Walker Park in Kirkwood costs only $75 for a marriage license signing ceremony.
