Marrying Absurd

The story "Marrying Absurd", by Joan Didion, was the most interesting to me, out of the three essays under 'Description'. This essay involves a little bit of humor and entertainment. I liked it, mainly, because I know that everything she talks about is true and happens all the time. I also learned from it. I had no idea it was that inexpensive to get married in Las Vegas, despite of all the things I've heard about Vegas weddings. She writes, "someone must put up five dollars for the license. It seems to me to be a joke. It's hard to believe that so many people, intentionally, marry in Las Vegas. The way I see it, it's not a serious wedding and one should deeply consider what they are doing when planning to marry in Vegas.
