Southern Coast, Maine

As the name suggests, the southern coast of Maine is located just over the New Hampshire border. The first town encountered when crossing the Memorial Bridge is Kittery, established in 1647 and the oldest town in the state.  Along the bucolic shoreline are beaches and then more beaches. Taken together with the art galleries and antique shops, there are countless nooks for an elopement. Not to mention the scenic shoreline with marinas and private clubs for a larger wedding affair.

California – End Child Marriage

Legislative Activity California’s state legislature considered a bill (SB243) in August 2018 that would have ended child marriage. It was watered down so much that in some circumstances no minimum age was set. Because our members have said that they don’t want to officiate when a child is involved, we opposed the bill. Testimony JPus opposed legislation that was pending in California because it would allow child marriages. Our letter to the state’s legislators opposing SB243 is here.   [pdf-embedder url=”https://www.findajp.com/jpus/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/CA_8_14_2018.pdf”]
