From Shi Ying's residence in New York, to the place in New Jersey where they obtained their marriage certificate, it's about a hundred kilometers.
They took the highway the entire way and arrived in half an hour. (In Western countries, highways only have a minimum speed limit, not a maximum.) Shi Ying had arranged for someone in advance to receive them, review their documents, verify their information, announce the vows, and exchange rings.
The staff issued them a legal marriage certificate.
Moreover, they reminded them: "You must hold the wedding within a month of registering the marriage, otherwise you will need to re-register."
George was taken aback, somewhat confused: "Ah?"
Shi Ying chuckled and said, "Hahaha, I forgot to tell you, this state has this regulation, but you didn't know before. I saw how eager you were to come and propose, and I also forgot to tell you."
What was originally a happy occasion became awkward at this moment.
