 A friend of mine needed to get married quick, fast, and in a hurry to have health care benefits after college. She and her boy were already planning to get married, but couldn't wait the x amount of months to plan the whole shebang. They still wanted to celebrate w/ their families and friends, but needed to have the legal piece of paper to get the benefits and it couldn't wait.
